I Found Him Faithful 030104

I took a step

Into the unknown

As yet seeing nothing

Nothing but the darkness

Of foggy mists cascading in pelting teardrops

And hearing the growling of deep waters

But knowing

He held my hand.

Oh yes, it was not easy;

Never easy to pull back, let go

Never painless to retract

Your foremost decided desire

And replace it

(Rightfully so)

With a passion for Him.

It's done.

With His arm around me,

Holding tight to His hand

I stepped off into

Nothing

But found

I was walking on air.

And what of the rain?

I was warm and safe and dry:

For I dwell under

The shadow of His wings

And underneath are

The everlasting arms.
