I wrote this poem after meditating on this truth this morning. For the past few months, I’ve been struggling with depression and it’s so easy for me stay down, thinking and believing that God does not care. But He does. He cares a great deal about us and helps us to find our rest only in Him.
I woke up this morning feeling down
Defeated and ready to be one with the ground
I thought to myself, ” Nobody cares”
But to think of You, I didn’t dare
I wanted to stay in the pit I’ve made
Alone with my secrets and sin, misbehaved
To satisfy my hunger and my self-centeredness
Means to be away from You, I’d truly miss
Where shall I go to be healed
Shall I wander about in the world’s field
No, even though it is tempting
To find something, someone else for venting
You took me out of my self-pity and shame
The only reason being is to glorify Your name
I looked for love in all of the wrong places
But thanks be to You, the God of all ages
There is nowhere else true love is found
On this earth, nowhere around
When I look upon Calvary and meditate on the truth
I come to understand no one is selfless like You
