Out of the Darkness

174725660514041210_ItUIyD2Q_f

I had fallen far,
Far into the darkness
Where human spirit could not reach me,
Where I alone exist.
And when I no longer could bear the pain alone,
I cried out in the darkness
to a God unknown.
The One I left behind
In all my foolish pride,
the One I turned my back to,
the One from whom I'd hide
Now gave Himself to me
And said "I set you free.
I forgive throughout all ages.
What once was sin
Are now blank pages.
I see a child, in pain, alone.
I'll pull you close
and lead you home."

How good it is to be in The Light again.

Aaaaawwwww. I have been so selfish and occupied. I am so sorry about the darkness but joyful that you are back in the light. Life is so hard.

Beautiful, evocative verse.

And the quote...oh yes. So many times we need someone else's light to bring us forward...just as our light will do that for someone else.

Have a lovely weekend my beautiful friend. xo

I think that if Renee was here she would shed a tear just because she never liked seeing someone she loved sad but she would also say those words that would make you chcukle like s*** and f*** and Har har had. She loved you very dearly. She told me so. Tsup!

Deb, I am holding your hand from all the way here in Maryland. No words of wisdom, just hugs and a wish that I could drop by and help out. xox pam

I once read a quotation which said that God is found in the abyss, not on the mountaintop. I think that's true. I'm glad it was true for you.

Sending one little candle from Texas to add to your light from above. ♥

I've been unable to access blogs, but I'm back now and answered your questions about Natalie at my blog.
I love knowing that your prayers continue,,,as do mine for you.
Thank you Deb, and thank you God for Deb, and Brawny Man, and Natalie.

Sweet Deb, our goal in this life should be to keep everyone we love from EVER being alone and in the darkness. If I can EVER say one word or do one deed to help you never close your eyes to the light again, please reach out to me or to any one of your many friends who love you too much to see you in the pain of darkness.
Sending love and love and more love.
audrey ♥

Dearest Deb,
It is true that in the darkness He can be found. He is that light that illuminates in our hearts and turns our sorrow into dancing. You and Brawny Man are traveling down a dark road, but you are not on that path alone. He is there beside you to encourage and support you and when your legs and heart are weary, He will pick you up and carry you in His arms. Isn't it good to belong to the King of Kings??
I love you Deb and carry you both/all in my heart and prayers.
