Room for a Poem

This week Leah sent me over a poem that I wanted to share with you. I think its just brilliant. If I had read it before last week's talk, it would have been one of my inspirations for sure.

Room
By Leah Puddester

Leave a little room for me in the darkest hours of your day.
Leave a little room for me when your plans go astray.

Open up your heart a crack when troubles at your door.
Know that when you fall to your knees I am with you on the floor.

Open up your eyes a bit to hear me whispering to you.
Saying how I cherish you, and I will see you through.

Poke your head through the fog, just a little smudge,
And I will appear and tell you I did not come here to judge.

I came here to save you from yourself and from this world.
I am not tallying up your every wrong, no matter what you’ve heard.

I am here patiently waiting for you to let me in.
And all you have to do is call my name for this miracle to begin.

And I will not guarantee a joyride once we work together,
But with this partnership, there is no storm you can’t weather.

I did not come to keep all pain form you.
But I came to grant you the strength to make it through.

So I understand that opening up can be a scary thing.
You wonder what things will come with that, what that decision will bring.

Believe when I say, all good things come from me.
And I will gently open your eyes so you can finally see.

That I have plans to prosper you, and love on you forever.
And I will always be by your side, when things are bad and better.

So my darling, will you leave just a little room for me?
So I can do what I have been longing to- that is to set you FREE!

Good morning,
That was absolutely beautiful. And you are right Pastor Jason, it would have went along perfectly with your sermon on leaving a little room for God. Have an awesome day.

many blessings
