Am I still so narrow-minded
that I hate what
I don’t understand?
It’s so hard to wrap my mind
around the things
I don’t relate to sometimes.
When I hear the horrors
of this world
that You have sheltered me from
until now,
I’m reminded of how much
You’ve blessed me with.
You kept me out of
the true downpours of pain
that would have drowned
my weak soul.
You show me them now
because You know I see them
at the same time that
I see You and I know
You are in every one of us.
You are the whisper
in the settling wind,
the thunderclap
on a sunny day.
You are all around us
and within us
stirring us
so we love you more.
Shelter in the storm is lovely,comprehensible and from the heart. Success!
