After the Storm
Hey Substack, for several years I wrote exclusively poetry. From time to time I’ll draw from that well to share.
We’ve all been through difficult situations. What matters is our attitude and actions in response. I pray this is a blessing to someone. Here’s “After the Storm.”
After the storm, after the fire,
After the trial, after I tire.
When I’ve been running for so very long,
Lord, when I’m weak help me then to be strong.
Going all-out for the goal I did strive.
No less than best with all purpose and drive.
Until the end of my life I will give
All then to Jesus, and for Him I’ll live.
But when defeat comes and batters you down,
And your joy is taken; replaced by a frown.
Encourage yourself in the Lord and you’ll know,
That He will be with you wherever you go.
For when we have nothing to Him we must turn.
We should have come sooner for we then will learn.
For He stands there waiting with arms open wide,
And I still belong with Him close to His side.
