Rescue

As one looks up 

to behold what the light will reveal, 

in the hope of promise, 

of relief 

of reprieve 

of safety

and no more despair,

one finds what one is hoping for

waiting for,

in the smallest of ways 

as The Promiser delivers.

Just as He is waiting to do as He said he would 

if we would but look to Him, 

trust in Him

turn from the pain

from the distraction

all by design.

As the light trickles in 

What once was weariness 

is now consumed, 

overtaken by sheer joy; 

the result and reasonable response 

of gratitude.

Rest is a beautiful, refreshing quality.
