Sitting With You

I sit with you

and you may not know 

that some do choose to understand

and feel

for what you're going through.

For all the times you 

feel alone

I know without a doubt

God has

His few in His employ

who take on His heart

and feel His pain,

His ache for you.

So look up friend.

Never for once doubt 

that He is there.

Present.

Existing.

Real.

Feeling your pain.

Crying with you.

It feels overwhelming

and no one may know

or can process 

the thing you've experienced.

Only Him.

So sorry that human beings fail.

Maybe we should know

the mechanics 

of the intricacies 

of the soul and spirit,

the flesh and emotions

and all that is that.

But we still don't.

Maybe we push away

when we should pull close.

Maybe we shut down

and assume.

Maybe we feel too deeply

and wish just one knew.

But all that is too much

for any one soul

to comprehend.

Suffering is beyond words.

So we disconnect.

We harbor feelings 

and withdraw.

We act out

and hurt the ones 

who we truly love

or those most gentle.

But that's OK for now.

Rest friend.

Rest in the arms 

of the one who created you

in all the flesh and spirit,

emotion, personality and will.

He made you

and He can heal you

and transform you

and form Christ in you.

And I sit here with you.

Gods heart is so huge

for you.

Presence.
