What are you afraid of?
You are rooted.
Storms strengthen.
Drought triggers thirst for Him.
Sacrifice multiplies seeds of hope.
Nothing is wasted.
Not even death.
Grow with sun-kissed joy!

trembling bird, waiting for the
strength of release.

And my vision can’t penetrate the opacity
of your masterpiece–shadows of sorrow thicken.
But, you keep painting over my doubts with sunrises.
