Snuggle


By Marcia K. Leaser

February 23, 2008

            When mere words can’t begin to touch

                the depth of pain you feel.

            When a hug, a hand on your shoulder,

                or a touch of love,

            leave you feeling utterly numb.

                Completely shattered.

            Allow God to wrap you in His arms

                and hold you until the hurt is gone.

            It won’t matter how long it takes... He has the time.

            He won’t let you go until

                you’re strong enough to trust

                    your weakened legs to stand,     

                        and your aching heart dare to beat once more.

            Even though you feel

                you’ll never trust the world again.

                    Never smile - never laugh...

            because of the overpowering agony

                you feel at this moment... you will.

For the One Who holds you close to His breast,

                breaths each unwanted breath with you.

            He feels the depth of despair

                you can’t even begin to comprehend.

            He knows your racing mind

                is attempting to find reasons -.

                    answers to what lies before you.

            But, you needn’t try to put into words

                the heavy shroud of darkness

            That renders you completely helpless.

                He already knows - He already understands.

            Just bath in the warmth of that understanding.

                Snuggle up!

            And give Him the joy of being

                Whom He alone can be at this time.

            Your comforter... your companion...

                your risen Lord.
