The Man

All alone, sat a man by himself,
Heart torn apart by sadness, failure, confusion, pain..
A perfect storm tats destructs everything,
Darkness and coldness strucks him unprepared,
Broken, beaten, left to ponder upons e reasons.

Hopes and dreams dash, everything greyed...
Everyday was a drag, trodding along..
Despair, hurt, pain, tearful nitez..
One day, he says "I mustl not cry anymore!"
Indeed, he keep his tears, determine to rebuild his life.
Turning to God, he pray and asked wisdom and guidance..

Everyday passes still, bounded by the past...
Wounds in the heart hurt, day by day his feelings numb away..
But God continued carry him thru all the tough times...
God send friends, using His Word to encourage him, pushin him on..
The man tried but jus doesnt know how to let go, till one day he shut himself..
Ever loving, ever caring, ever faithful, God refuse to give up on the man...
He whispers to the man through friends, bible, church sermons and many ways..
"Come to me, my child.. I know that you are tired, sad"
"In Me, you will find refudge, strength, recovery"

The man prayed, continue to work on rebuilding his life through God..
Many times, he disappointed God but God never give up on him..
God continue to love and guide the man in his life..
And today, the man has rebuilt part of his life with help of God..
Now, he knows that God is always there and listening to his prayers..
Trials in life may be painful but persevere and press on..
Its a refining process, character building process that make man more Christ like...
Even the biggest, most perfect storm might jus come..
But with God around, we can rest in Him for He loves and cares for everyone..
Tears still fall but its of hope and gladness,
for the man knows God is everything he has never needed..

Deu 32:10 "He found him in a desert land, and in the howling waste of the wilderness; he encircled him, he cared for him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
Deu 32:11 Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that flutters over its young, spreading out its wings, catching them, bearing them on its pinions,
Deu 32:12 the LORD alone guided him, no foreign god was with him.

Isa 40:28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.
Isa 40:29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Isa 40:30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;
Isa 40:31 but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
