I Dared...

I took a glance at hope...

My heart leaped in gratitude

to see some hues of greens...

Oh how comforting moment 

to see a glimpse

though deep within 

I wonder if it is within my reach...

I paused to hold my breath

braced my heart

again I dared to look at hope 

finding out

once again 

my heart ripped off

as before my eyes

hope faded away once more...

Where art thou now oh God...

Where art thou now oh God?...

Why hast thou forsaken me?

Why hast thou not saved me

from my pains and misery?

Why hast thine arms too short 

to reach out to my heart?

Why hast  thine ears

deaf to my tears?

Why hast thine eyes

seen not my frailties?

Where art thou now my God?...

Thou hast known 

my soul believes in thee...

Through all my agony

in thine will in faith I remained...

in thine wonderful amazing grace

always I believed...

For Thou art God

Marvelous and Mighty 

Holy in Majesty...

Yet...

Where art thou now Oh God?...

All around me are pain and tears

my worn torn heart 

are all that I could see...

Where art  thou now oh God?...

When losing hope...

When you're breathing 

losing hope

believe and trust... 

God is working all things out 

for good...

and it is never to harm you

but to pick you up...

and fix your broken pieces...

to make things right

according to His will

So you will live life 

in the center of His grace...

Look up ...

Through all the frustrations

rejections and betrayal...

Through all the unfairnes of things...

With the many why's...

With all the heaviness...

Look up ...

know and remember 

that behind the clouds

is the never fading blue skies...

Be comforted 

with the universe's declaration 

that God is ever behind 

all the clouds and storms 

in our lives... 

In Hopelessness

In Hopelessness

When things around are dim 

and you are losing yourself...

When hope is not available 

though you grope for hope...

When pain and sadness 

are overwhelming 

and your eyes and heart 

are sore in crying...

for everything have turned 

to nothing...

When days and nights are passing

and you are stuck in your own shell...

for todays and morrows 

have lost their meaning

and you wish to not wake up again

to another morning...

Turn your eyes upon Jesus...

Focus your eyes on God...

He made life and the universe 

what then can He not do...?

He knows all that you've been through 

All the days He is with you...

He sees you through 

with His mercy and grace 

sustaining you...

Believe and trust 

God is leading your way

His will and purposes 

are always the best and good

from your hopelessness 

guiding you all the way...
