I’ve seen the way life’s jungles
open up
into meadows more beautiful than we imagined.
If we want to see God’s glory,
we need to persevere.
I say:
Hack through the brambles,
crawl through the muck.
Sleep in a damp cave if you have to.
Whatever you do, don’t give up.
One day, you’ll burst through and discover
the sun shining.
flowers blooming,
birds waiting
to announce your arrival.
God is planning a bright new life for you.
The question is:
Will you hold onto your faith and find it?
