Daughter, you can’t listen unless
You let go.
Your mind is crowded,
And it’s hard to hear.
I speak loud, clear
When you truly
Listen.
It won’t always feel comfortable
Or safe
To clear, uncrowd.
But truly,
It is.
I AM here,
Above,
Beneath,
Behind,
Beside
Crowded
Noise, clutter.
I never left it,
Waited for you
To hear me.
Do you hear?
Do you hear, my daughter?
Do you hear
Hope?
Hope is loud, quiet,
Strong, soft,
Shouting, whispering,
Boisterous, unintrusive,
Demanding, relenting.
Uncrowd,
Free,
Let go,
Let me.
I will never fail.
I will never leave.
I will never be far.
I will be near when you feel lost,
Hopeless,
Because it is not lost, hope
Is never lost.
It is found.
It is championed,
Lit onto
A footpath, a spark
To fire.
The fire inside
My daughter
Burns
Even when she doesn’t hope.
Just think how bright
When she lets it burn.
Let go, my daughter.
Let go.
Let go and let it
Burn.

These links share just a glimpse of the story God is telling us. When you have time, read a chapter or two around the verses to get the context and see the whole picture. My preferred Bible translation is the New Living Translation, so all links will be in that version.
