Waking up in the dead of night
Groping through darkness
Searching for nothing
Or maybe something
Trying to make sense of it all
I look in every direction
There has to be some meaning
A Stronghold to latch onto
Near, sure, solid, loyal
Whence will my help come?
In my darkness, I feel it suddenly
The Book, His Book!
Disuse-worn, dust-covered
Then it dawns on me –
The answer to the question
Why then not this darkness?
When its pages I didn’t turn
“Child, you wandered away,” He says
“Too long I almost lost you.
Welcome back, child,” He beckons me close
We got some catching up to do.”
The bible is a book from God, always waiting to be read by us to get us back to God. When it is so dusty on our shelves, it simply means we have wandered off too long, and need to read it to return to our Maker- GOD!
Nice One Big-Sis

Beautiful!
This is so relatable.
I guess we all have those times when life’s baggages tend to drive us far from HIM.
But for HIS grace HE surely leads us back to the fountain.

Always ready to take
Us back…
