I lie in bed and listen to the wind whistling past the windows,
And I see the trees dancing and bowing in the movement of the wind.
A sudden cloud of mist will come rolling in.
Sometimes lasting seconds or even minutes at a time.
Though I am blessed with the protection of a strong and sturdy house
Filled with loving people during this blustery night.
Often I find myself on fire for God.
Then something suddenly goes wrong.
I am caught in the mist.
Frantically and desperately I try to find something to grasp onto to pull myself out.
No matter how long the cloud of mist lasts,
I continue to search.
Then, unexpectedly, I find a strong, sturdy hand to pull me out into His protection
And guides me onto the right path.
I AM SAFE!
He restores me and re-lights my spark of fire.
He gives me joy.
He gives me love.
He gives me His grace.
I am safe once again.
I know I will drift into the cloud of mist again,
But I know I will ALWAYS find a way out
Because God has restored my strength!
He loves me,
He cares for me,
He protects me,
He guides me,
He gives me peace,
He saves me,
and ultimately... He is my Hero!
In His Hands,
Riely Marie W.
