I am
Shaken.
Much has caused me
to shiver like a leaf
in the cold winter wind.
Things like
his shattered legacy,
My mother’s health,
And the uproar that happened,
perpetrated by those stuck in rage
and a need for bloodshed.
These things will crush me,
won’t they?
I am teetering,
fragile,
afraid.
…
Then He says to me:
“Look, child.
Not a strand of your hair
passes through my fingers
uncounted.
Not a tear dropped
is left outside my bottle,
and not a thing you do
or say
will ever take
My Presence
away from you.
Am I not
I AM?”
In a rush of emotion,
I proclaim it:
Jesus, You
are where my help comes from.
My safe place. My Best Friend.
Your Warmth removes the cold shaking,
Your Promises
and faithfulness
fill my cup.
I love You, Lord.
In Your Arms,
I am unshaken.
No matter the outcome,
You are my God.
As I ponder these things, something happens:
the shaking
is replaced
by a smile,
fear replaced with a joy
that is bursting at the seams.
I lift my prayers to You,
and You hear me.
no matter what the television says,
That is a reason to thank You
indeed.
