Promises

In the fog, I see breakthrough

As the rainbow appears, I am reminded of The Promise

I am reminded of the I AM

Perfectly imperfect life

Perfectly imperfect people

The Promise never wavers

I cling to the promise that You are near

You will not leave me in this haze of confusion and despair

It may be for a moment

Or for a season

But I promise you won’t stay here

It is working in you a far greater good

More than attitudes and thoughts

I promise to make you more

This fire is meant to refine you

Mold you, transform you

Remake who you thought you were

I promised you a hope and a future

Don’t ever forget—

I am holding you

In your darkest hour

When you question why things are the way they are

I promise I am there

Hearing every word uttered from your mouth

The cries that ache from the depth of your being

I promise it is not wasted

Nothing is in vain

Keep forging ahead

Don’t draw back

For in the Promise you find safety

In the Promise you find strength

It might seem like you have been tossed from the boat

Into the unknown, past your comfort zone

I promise in that place there is growth 

And unending joy

That place is underneath your feet

Every step - although painful - is one step closer to victory

Trust the process.  Believe the promise!
