Sustaining

May 27, 2010 in Faith, Life, Poetry with 5 Comments

I used to write poetry.  It is something I miss doing, but the creative words that would pour from heart & mind to pen to paper don’t seem to come anymore.  It is something that I’ve asked God to put back into my life.

Here is one I wrote nearly ten years ago.

Only by You am I sustained.
By Your right hand you uphold me.
In disappointments and shattered dreams,
You are the shoulder on when I lean.

You wipe away my tears!
Your peace overwhelms me!
In sorrow I am filled with joy!
By your grace you have kept me!

    Wow! So few words, but such impact. “Only by You”. Three simple words. Finding joy in good times & bad. Can’t even express how much I am loving this.

    This is beautiful and heartfelt… I think you need to get back into writing poetry. It’s obviously a great outlet that God will use.
    Many blessings :)
