A Poem
In my sorrow and in my sadness
I look to You
But You are not there.
I pick up a brick
And begin building my wall.
In my worry and despair
I search for You
But You are not there.
Another brick.
In my anger and my heartache
I cry out to You
But You do not hear.
Another brick.
Where are You?
Why have You left?
Why do I feel so alone?
Left
Drowning in a sea of
Sorrow
Worry
Anger.
A whisper
“My child
Look up.”
I raise my eyes
I look into Your eyes
Soft, brown and kind.
I feel Your Arms around me
Holding me
Comforting me
Supporting me
Loving me.
Where were You?
Where did You go?
Why did You leave?
“Oh My child
I never left
I did not go
I did not leave
I was here
Beside you
Every step of the way.
In your sorrow
In your pain
In your anger.
You built a wall,
A wall around your heart
You could not feel Me.
Your eyes focused on sorrow
You could see Me.
Your ears blocked up
You could not hear Me.”
The scales fell
My eyes could see
My ears could hear
My heart could feel
As the walls fell down.
My heart could feel
You
Holding me
Healing me
Loving me.
My Lord and my God
You did not leave
You did not go.
It was I
Who wandered away.
Now I am home again
Safe
In Your Arms.
Safe
In Your Heart.
Safe
Because I am with You.
“Welcome home”
I hear You say,
“Do not leave again
I love you
My child.”
I rest in
The Arms
And the Heart
Of My Lord and Saviour
I am home.

A beautiful, poignant and timely reminder of God’s promise to us that “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). Safe in His Arms is a “good and faithful” servant’s lovely song of gratitude to her Lord and Savior. We can all be encouraged and instructed by this precious example of the Poets Art.
Who is the artist of this painting? Its beautiful
