Be Still

So, it's been quite a while since I've written a poem. That either means I've been super busy or have lost my passion for writing. Well, truth is I've just been a busy bee these past few months (I still love poetry!). But life is slowing down a bit for me now, which has been both good and bad.
It's great to not feel so tired and stressed out every day, but having extra time on my hands has also given me a lot of time to just sit and think. And to be perfectly honest with you, I don't like it. I'd rather be flying to and fro around the whole city without a single minute to myself.
Now, that might seem crazy to you, so let me try to explain. When I sit and think, my mind wanders to everything I don't have and every place in my life that is not satisfying (in my eyes) instead of wandering to all the rich blessings I've been so graciously given. I am not proud of this and it's also hard for me to admit, but it's just the way my mind works. I'm a pessimist, even though I try my very hardest to be an optimist.
There is good news though! I have an amazing Savior who loves me no matter what. No matter where my mind wanders, no matter what I've done, no matter how many earthly men have broken my heart, no matter how many times I've broken someone else's heart... He still loves me! Me, a guilty human being who's abandoned Him countless times by rejecting his unconditional love and grace in my life.
I am gradually learning how to accept this truth daily and live my life walking hand in hand with my Savior. It's not as easy as it sounds like it should be. We all live in a fallen world and Satan tempts us constantly, but God is teaching me how to trust in His all-powerful and good character. That is where this poem came from. It's God speaking to me, reassuring me of Himself and the plans He has for me.

Be Still

Be still and trust in Me,
I am the Giver of all things,
Wait and you will soon see,
The reasons why life stings.


Be still and love Me with all your heart,
Praise Me in every moment,
Because I've loved you despite it all,
I'm there waiting on your every call.


Be still and give Me your tears,
I died so you could be free,
My blood was shed to cure,
While I hung on that tree.


Be still and walk in My light,
And I will give you rest,
Keep me in full and complete sight,
For I know you best.


Be still and know that I Am,
I Am the Creator of your soul,
I Am the Lion and the Lamb, 
I Am the Lord over All.


My dear beloved, be still,
look full onto My face,
Just be still,
And live in My grace.
