The Eye of the Storm...

Yes, I am in a storm. But you know what? I love it... You know why? Because He is here. Not only is He here, He is crying too. He is crawling with me, fighting with me, standing with me, cheering me on, holding me when I need it, and hedging me in on every side. His Word says that He covers my head in the day of battle and He teaches my hands to war all while I am under His safe and gentle wings. Don't fear. There is no more time for fear. We have to go. We have to get in the eye of the storm and ride it out and let it make us stronger, wiser, more loving and compassionate for those who are riding it out, too. The whole world is hurting and fighting and waiting for someone to come and show them there is an end to this war. An end to all the fighting and struggling. That there is a place of rest. I am glad I am here. It is only here that my heart gets softened and it is only here that I learn how to stand longer and stronger and it is only here right in the middle of a storm that I see Him for who He truly is... I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. He is so close I can hear Him breathe and I fall more in love with His every heartbeat... He is here... If I feel I am falling and beyond repair or escape as I do today because of mistakes I am reminded constantly of, I know that He is hurting with me too. He is standing me to my feet and brushing me off and saying "go again My love"... We have to go. The world is waiting... He is here....
