To the lonely one:
To the lonely one:
because you're not alone.
Although it seems
that no one's there,
My Jesus always is.
No, you cannot see him.
No, he's not to hug,
But call his name
and hear his whisper,
He loves you more than ever.
He is no stranger
to the loneliest of days.
40 days he wandered
alone without a pal.
Temptations of death
of sin and sorrow
He faced and won complete.
He longs to draw you near to him,
to rest you on his chest.
He knows your lonely,
He knows your sorrow,
He's been through it all before.
Call to him,
turn your face,
to my Jesus who already knows your name.
Let him kiss you with his whisper,
let him hold your face.
Call to him
and he will answer
even the loneliest of place.

ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled that you added this to the Open Letters Link-up. What rich biblical truth in such a heartfelt poem! And so creative. In the line "rest you on his chest," I pictured how I bring my sleeping 3-month-old to rest on my chest. What a comfort to know that Jesus is there to hold us close when we are lonely.
