God Cares

Here's a poem I wrote a few years ago.

God Cares

Sometimes life seems too hard to bear .
You feel like giving up, and collapse in a chair.
You think to yourself, "It's just not fair!"
You know there has to be an answer--but where?
It's as if God won't listen, but you know He's out there!
The window is open and you can smell the crisp night air.
You look up at the stars and see the moon's empty stare.
Without warning comes a meteorite, streaking past like a golden flare!
Feeling lonely, all your burdens (to God) you begin to share,
Remembering how much God loves you, a gem so rare.
Surrounded by a gentle peace, you realize, God's right there!

Your poem made me reflect on the "where" of the "there." Thankfully, for us, the "right there" is "in there." In us, God abides!

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him (1 John 4:16).
