I Was Asked; “How Are You Today?”

Someone wanted to know how I was doing…

He had no idea of the storms that were brewing.

I just answered; “everything’s going fine.”

 I had quite a few things

 that were on my mind!

It seems like everything in life,

 came crashing around.

I needed someone to pick me up!

  I was feeling rather “down.”

I felt a gentle voice which

whispering into my ear…

“Do not be discouraged.”  “I am here!”

I looked all around, and much to my surprise..

This same voice then said;

 “Get up and arise!”

As I arose, I felt a gentle hand

on my shoulder.

It was like this hand had

removed a “large boulder.”

I knew this voice from before!  And heard it again!

This was the voice of the one

I called my lord and friend!

The words he spoke to me were

 quite evident and clear.

Whatever situation I was in…

 Jesus is always near!

Every step that I take… 

And breath I breathe.

Jesus has promised me

 he will never leave!

Jesus strengthened me,

and blew my storms away!

And brought hope and healing

 to my life today!
