L - Life Grows

There are times when life really takes its toll on us; when we consider all that we are doing to make a better life for ourselves and yet, we are stuck; stuck in a job we hate; stuck in a relationship which is not good for us; stuck in a financial situation from which there is, seemingly, no escape; just stuck.

If we are able to withdraw from all of our circumstances and allow ourselves to dream or (in other words) to meditate and reflect on our life, we may discover that, throughout all that we are enduring, there is hope and there are solutions. I am a God-fearing disciple of Jesus so I seek God during such difficult times. If I didn’t, I know that I could easily slip into a dreaded depression. That’s when I need the presence of God’s Glory the most.  The comfort in His Word has saved me more times than I care to admit.

Ezra 9:9 (KJV)

“For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.”

LIFE GROWS

Where do dreams
Like this belong?

Dreams of Times
Of Freedom
Dreams of Times
Of Glory
Dreams of Times
Of Bonds so forceful
They feel intoxicating

Perhaps one day
In some indeterminate way
We’ll comprehend
That dreams like this belong
Exactly where they are
In Time
Exactly where they are
Right now
