to you who are alone

To you who are alone,
searching,
seeking God in a dry and empty desert,
parched and hopeless –
take heart in the promise that he who seeks shall find.

To you who are hurting,
burdened under a load you cannot carry,
bent and worn from life’s journey –
take heart in a Savior who offers you rest.

To you who are divided,
fractured and broken,
the pieces of your life scattered in disarray –
take heart as you hold them in your trembling hands – for the healer calls you to himself.

To you who hunger and thirst for hope, and peace
To you who need the loving arms of a Savior – he seeks you.
He left the ninety nine to seek one –
you.
