I Am With You.

Stop.  You’ve come far enough.  You’re legs are tired and your heart is heavy.  I’ll take the final steps for you.  I pull you into my arms and place your face against my chest.  Your streaming tears fall to my shirt.  I’ll rub your hair and hold you in my arms.  Can you feel their strength supporting your weight?  Fall into me.  Give up that last ounce of restraint.  You’re scared and I feel it.  You hesitate and I know it.  Close your eyes and let it all out.  Free yourself.  There you go.  Don’t be embarrassed; everyone reaches this point.  Making a fool of yourself is a perception only by those whose fear outweighs their cry for help.  I am here now.  Whisper to me your worries.  Tell me how I can help.  Ask of me and I will reveal to you my plan.  You might not like what I have to say, but I promise you it will give you strength.  You will turn away with strong legs; able to walk further this time.  You will leave here with a more durable heart; able to battle future pain.  You will start again with a fresh spirit; able to see the beauty that I see every day.  Let me change you, for the person you’ve become isn’t as beautiful and the person I want you to be.  Right here and now is all that matters.  Tomorrow isn’t promised.  I could call you home before it reaches you.  I have something for you.  I want you to take it and make it apart of your soul.  Let me touch your face and give it to you.  Let me heal the brokenness inside.  Let me carry you back to your life and set you on your way.  Now, remember I am right beside you today, tomorrow, and forevermore.  Just reach out when you need me.
