Entering Rest

Categories: Rest, Widowhood

The present is clouded by disappointments
The past is tinted rose
The future is very important
Yet what it holds no one knows.

The past for me holds great happiness
The present difficult loneliness
What happens in the future, I can but guess
So I need to rely on God’s faithfulness.

I have found Him faithful in the past
In the present, now that I’m on my own,
I lean on Him, look to Him for help
I am certain He won’t leave me alone.

Today I want to experience the rest
Which Jesus secured for me
Entering in behind the veil
I find eternal security.

Hebrews 4:1-11
