Light to my Dark

Even to your old age I am he, and to gray hairs I will carry you.  

I have made, and I will bear; I will carry & will save.  ~Isaiah 46:4

You exhaust yourself child, trying to get this world to make sense.  The loss the hurt the pain, the love, the joy, the beauty.  

Remember when you returned from Sierra Leone, Africa?  What did you know?  You knew the world you saw there and the world you lived in couldn't be combined.  Remember Lucinda?  In her world of such depravity, she saw healing in your world.  You knew that angle would disappoint.  You knew your world of plenty to be a far cry from a Redeemer.  

May I remind you of that anew?  Your world won't redeem.   Can that sink in and free you from the searching?  Or keep on looking for a more solid Redeemer than what I've given you in me.  Healing scenerio A, B, or C - go to Z as many times as you need, if you want... your heart just won't be satisfied and your futile searching makes mine ache.  The way's been made in me not in the world.

Hear my words strong from Isaiah - I'm God of your lifetime.  I carry you, just as much as you carry your baby... I'm that protective, that aware, that close, far more infinitely able... and the loads you carry - you simply don't carry in full, i bear them over you, rest in my peaceful waters... they are all around you... coming straight from me, part of my very being, able to supply every need.  To your old age... child - I swim with you in all your waters... be them of the deepest ocean floor or the sea's surface glimmering with the sun's light.

Your Redeemer is with you.  
The world you long for is coming.  So not like you could ever envision and still infinitely better.  And when the time comes, you'll birth forth from all darkness into the fullness of me, a Light powerful enough to erase every tear.  A redeeming work all mine.  
Sealed and finished and coming.

  

Wait patiently for the LORD.

Be brave & courageous.

Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.
~Psalm 27:14
