What has happened to us?
There was a time when we were full of joy.
The daily round of things that challenged were simply that — Challenges.
Somewhere along the road to Heaven, we find ourselves bogged down.
And now, it seems the uncertainties are too much for us to bear.
Lord Jesus, could you tabernacle Your Glory
In the common tents of our hearts?
Somewhere between the cherubims of loss and grief
Establish the blaze of Your Glory
So that no one may miss, and no one can misunderstand
That it is really You. REALLY YOU that:
Will be strong in our weaknesses.
Will blaze with light in our dark valley.
Will be glorified in spite of the broken vessels.
Oh, Lord Jesus, I know. I truly KNOW that
It is out of the broken vessels —
Through the cracks and through the rubble —
That Your Light is most visible.
I know that we are broken.
Let Your Light shine out.
And let The Light show us the way.

Thank you for sharing what many of us also feel but few know how to put into words.
Great thoughts. Did you write that?
Thank you for sharing that with us. May God’s glory shine through all of us.
Thank you for sharing Sometimes it is easy to let the cares and stresses of the world get you down so low . When we need to just try to keep our eyes on Jesus.
I always find JOY between praise and thanksgiving, despite the circumstances. Love.
Very nice poem, if you wrote it
Your words do describe what we all feel at times. It is then when we have to focus not on the whirlwind around us but the Peace of God.
Your poem ministers to me as I sit here and weep. It expresses so exactly the deep, deep cry of my heart. Thank you so much for putting it into words.
