Jesus is my island...

[Hephzibah]

~ You are an Island ~

You are an island.

An island amidst rivers.

Fast and flowing rivers.

You help me to tread water.

You let me wade near your shore.

You are an island.

This is the scripture I had in my heart:

Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Dear Hephzibah, whenever I am in trouble, cast down, full of care - not knowing where to turn, God gives me the scripture you have just quoted. God is wonderful isn't He - He is my island too. In your poem, I like the line 'you let me wade near your shore'..cos that really is amazing isn't it? Thank you for posting this.

That was powerfully written, words with real weight. If respect is possible in cyberspace, I have it for you. It's often especially moving to me when a poet, such as you did here, states his or her case boldly, without adornments or milking the conceit. A moving and graceful poem.

All human beings are weak and need help from Him!
