I wrote this poem recently during a particularly dark and painful time I was going through...thought maybe it could encourage someone else as well...

Your Love Shines Through

There is no night so dark
Your love does not shine through.
Every morning dawns
With Your mercies new.

My heart in anguish wanders
Searching for that glimpse of light,
Only the clouds do hover
And hide the sunlight from my sight.

I know behind the clouds
The sun is shining,
And once again its rays
Their course upon the earth will fling.

But what of the time
Spent hiding in the shadows?
What is it
That You have to show?

Amidst the pain and anguish
Of that place,
I can catch a glimpse
Of the light of Your face.

A face so full
Of tender love,
So divine, so compelling,
Drawing nearer, ever nearer from above.

You seek Your
Lost ones out.
You never leave them
Floundering about.

You reach Your arms
Towards me
As I'm reaching out to You,
You bring me to a place where I am free.

You hold me in Your arms,
You dance across the floor with me.
There is no place on earth
I would rather be.
