Trusting the Safe Keeper

Father is here, never far away

Son of suffering, close to you

Spirit holds fear at bay

Of all in life, this is true.

Safely held in the arms

Of creator God above

Lord of all who never harms

Wraps you in divine love.

Held eternally in the heart

In the Presence of holy care

End is more important than the start

God is for you, everywhere.

Cast those cares heavenward

Trust the One who made you

Walk humbly straight toward

The One who’ll hold you true.

Do you need a Safe Keeper? Someone who is there for you, who will never leave you nor abandon you. Someone who will understand you at all times, but will also help you challenge yourself for your own good. Someone who is always reasonable, who is always on time, who never gets it wrong, even though life will leave you with all sorts of doubts as to how good a safe keeper He is.

He is worthy when nobody else is. He is just in your injustice. He is powerful when you need Him. He is soft when you’re vulnerable. His grace will comfort you in your distress, betrayal, disappointment and hurt. Even when you don’t feel Him, He promises to be there. And He has never not been there, over the history of life, and through the seconds of your every existence.

When you face the teeming seas,
don’t forget to thank the breeze.

Father, I ask right now, for the person who needs to read these words of Yours, that they will simply say, ‘Yes’, which is a ‘Yes, Lord, that’s for me. Thank You. Thank You for providing for me. When I most need it yet least expect You will show up.’ AMEN.

And if you read these words with cynicism or ambivalence, and you’re seriously struggling, I pray that you will allow Him the elevation of your emotions to ascend into the primacy of reality — to feel what you can feel — the sorrow, the despair, the fear, the grief — right now. So He can heal you.
