Meditations on God

My best ideas
my plans and designs
led me to desolation
and heartbreak
to the jumping off place
where no hope exists
where there is only pain
and emptiness
but at the precipice
of my brokenness
you spoke to me
whispering
in the wilderness of my soul
come to me
I will give you rest
I will give you life
you are not alone
and I followed your voice
and you were true to your word
and I am not alone

NOT ALONE
