When Love Is Near by Jeanie Marty

I may not always disclose my greatest fears, expose the brokenness of my heart nor verbalize the physical agonies that consume me day by day. Yet, sometimes I am terrified and your prayers do strengthen me.

Even though, I seem to know who I am in God, there are days I forget and need you to remind me.

I can walk without companionship , yet, I thrive when others walk alongside me and let me lean upon their shoulders.

If a day comes when I struggle extending to you, don't stop reaching for me.

When days, months, even years pass by and your prayers for me are not answered, know miracles are not limited by time.

All your efforts big or small are never in vain. Every word and action girds me with courage to press on.

The lingering delay makes it hard for me to see the light on the hill. However, your eyes illuminate what I cannot see.

One thing I firmly believe still, faith weathered through changing seasons, turns to hope when love is near!
