What Now? (A Conversation between You, Me & God)

[YOU]:
… After all tears have been cried and your insides dried?
When you can no longer find the words to sum up nor describe your present emotions?
When there seems to be no one in this lifetime, on this earth
You can possibly turn to?
(Because) if you can’t even understand what you are going through; the battle you face
How much more can they console you?

No words can bring comfort to this broken spirit
Feeling like an eagle whose wings was broken in flight;
In desperate need of healing, restoration- rejuvenation!
A body that can no longer withstand its own weight,
Yearning for the everlasting embrace of the wind- soft spoken and subtle-
To carry it through this tireless journey that must continue; has to continue
For destination is in sight on this road, the race cannot be lost.

[ME]:
If only…
I could just tug through to finish line
And then rest there! What a joy that would fill my soul! (Or would it?)
Lord, why are you calling me to rest so close to the end?
Why am I so burnt out just a few miles away?
Why this feeling at all?

[GOD’S RESPONSE]:
So that you will be still and know that I am God…
For too long you’ve carried this weight; this burden
And now it is time to let it go and hand it over to me.
Need I remind you: It was through my strength you were able to sustain it without stumble.
The place you are about to enter into, you cannot take this load with you
Yes- new challenges are sure to come but like these times before-
Remember how I always came through for you.
We have come too far to stop now,
You are going to reach that place of destiny and purpose
But you need to gather new strength to enter.
Rest in me; trust in me; praise me,
And I will handle the rest.

With a love that knows no end, so too do I love you
Your Father who is (also) always your friend,




*Fashioned after Psalm 91
