I Wanted To Know; “How Are You Doing?”

Someone wanted to know how I was doing…

He had no idea of the storms that “were brewing.”

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

 I had quite a few things

 “on my mind!”

It just seemed like everything

 “came crashing around.”

I needed someone to pick me up,

 when I was “down.”

I then felt a gentle voice

whispered 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 someone’s hand

on my shoulder.

It was like this hand had

removed a “large boulder.”

I heard this voice before!  I heard it again!

This was the voice of the one

I call my lord and friend!

The words he spoke to me were

 quite evident and clear.

Whatever situation I am in.

 He is always near!

Every step that I take. 

Every breath that I breathe.

Jesus has promised me

 he will never leave!

He has strengthened me,

and “blew my storms away!”

And has brought hope and healing

 to my life today!
