Lords Poem
DEAR LORD—
This life…
this wild, unpredictable, beautiful, painful life—
where is it taking me?
What road am I walking?
What path did I choose…
or did it choose me?
Because some days—
it feels like I’m lost in it.
Drowning in questions
with no map, no warning, no escape.
BUT THEN—
Your love breaks in.
Not quiet.
Not soft.
But real.
Your forgiveness—
it doesn’t whisper…
it crashes over me like waves I don’t deserve,
yet somehow… still receive.
It fills my lungs when I can’t breathe.
It lifts my chest when the weight gets too heavy.
It reminds me—
I’m still here.
Still standing.
Even in the pain.
Even in the chaos.
Even when life looks me dead in the face and says—
“Let go.”
I DON’T.
Because You taught me how to stand.
Yeah—
stand in the rain,
soaked to the bone,
tears running down my face—
BUT NOT FROM FEAR.
No—
these tears hit different.
They come from knowing…
You never left me.
Not once.
Not ever.
You were there in the silence.
There in the breaking.
There in the moments I thought I wouldn’t make it.
So yeah—
I LOVE YOU.
I don’t whisper it.
I don’t hide it.
I SHOUT IT.
From my chest.
From my soul.
From a place so deep
it shakes everything I am.
And I feel You there—
right there in my heart—
burning, alive, undeniable.
And for that…
I stand proud.
Not perfect.
Not finished.
But held.
DEAR LORD—
You are everything.
And I am forever Yours.
