Jesus Saves

This year has been a year of growth through loss…
Jesus slowly burning away the chaff of my life…
Making all things new by eradicating the old.

Though I’ve found great pain in the forging…
Discovering idols of friendship are shallow after all…
Compared to the deep vastness of His peace.

As the smoke clears, I observe the Promised Land…
I tremble as I take my first tentative steps…
Jesus bids me keep my eyes on Him as I go.

Despite seeing beauty in the promises…
In weakness, I miss the comfort of the known…
Understanding, He hides me in the shadow of His wing.

As I nestle deeply and comfortably in His Word…
Whispering to remind me of promises He’s kept…
My trembling changes from fear to anticipation.

Jesus Saves.
