Will You Stay?

Below is a “poem” that came to me during the darkest night of my soul. I was sitting at my dining room table staring, when my spirit man “decided to have a chat” with my soul man. That may sound strange, but it was as if the real me was sitting opposite the broken me, ministering life and love through the profound questions you’re about to read. I pray they do the same for you.

When all props are down and no one’s around, will you stay?

When you’re stripped bare naked with no place to hide, will you stay?

When the light of His love shines deep in your heart, will you stay?

When the pain is wrenching as He gently restores, will you stay?

When a glimmer of His image shines under the muck, will you stay?

Will you stay until He is finished, and you emerge?
