This is a poem God gave me during a particularly trying time in my teenage years. A time when I thought God had abandoned me and left me alone. When he laid this poem on my heart I knew it was His way of letting me know He was there and had always been there, I was the one who had walked away.
I hope this poem comforts you and reminds you of the need to Look Again, to never stop looking for God's presence in your life. He never leaves us, but sometimes we make ourselves ignore Him and shun Him to satisfy our want to punish someone for the things that have happened in our lives. Even if you have turned from God, if you look again and ask him to heal you He will! I am proof of this. God loves us, even when we turn from Him, so look again because you are never alone.
When the road seems to never end
When the battle is all but lost
Look again, look again!
And in front of you
You might just see the key to what you seek
When nothing seems to be going your way
When all you have is lost
Look again, look again!
Things don't matter they come and go
Your way is not right but His way is perfect
When you feel as if there is no hope
When you feel as if faith is gone
Look again, look again!
For nothing is ever really gone
Look hard and you might find what you seek
When the answers are so faraway
When you cry out and no one answers
Look again, look again!
For above there is a friend
Who will never ever leave you,
And though he may not answer
Rest assured he is there!
When you think you are the only one
When you feel forsaken
Look again, look again!
Look around and you will see
Many more just like you,
Struggling every day with a burden on their back
When it seems as if there is no way out
When you think you can't go on
When it looks as if the light is gone
Look again, look again!
Look to the one who is greater than you
The God from whom help comes
And you will find what you seek
Look again, look again!
For nothing else will fill your heart or heal your soul
but the love of Jesus Christ!
So, look again, look again!
Your friend,
Kayti
