My Faith

Sunlit Oak Forest by Kevin Hill When I lose my footing, my faith returns when he is near me. For, I belong to him and he to me. This is the way God created us to be. If he fell from the edge of winter, I would warm him in my embrace. If he stumbled below a crescendo of clouds clashing, I would comfort him until my words drifted off in exhausted sleep. If a full eclipse echoed darkness in his soul, I would be the light to guide him home, and I know he would be the same for me. I love the totality of him – the beauty and the darkness, weakness and strength. I would rather walk through a fading forest with him on treacherous earth of greenbrier and bramble than a smooth, picturesque path through evergreens alone. If his hand is holding mine, I am warm inside and more in love with him in every season of our journey. A heavy sky of gray and drizzling rain feels like a sunny day when he smiles at me. This is the life intended for us. My faith in God has never wavered, but it deepened when He gave me a lasting love. feet circle through dense woodland - I reach for your hand and find my way back home 7/15/20 Contest – My Faith Sponsor – Regina Riddle
