Rest At Last

 I asked Jesus, “What can I do for you?”

You have answered my heartfelt prayers so very abundantly. 

I am blessed beyond my deepest desires. 

Just as I was ready to throw in the towel. 

So many lies. 

So much abuse. 

So very very tired. 

No man even close to admitting the truth. 

Having the audacity to call themselves your child. 

They, all of them, had torn my already broken heart so cruelly asunder. 

Thunderstorms abounded. 

No escape. 

No shelter. 

Absolutely no respite. 

The fight had left these delicate bones. 

I was done. 

But then a beautiful rainbow appeared. 

Your sweet promise to never leave me. 

The skies had so suddenly cleared. 

And all of those dark tragic years just disappeared as if by magic. 

I could look forward. 

Stop staring in the small rear view mirror. 

I must have finally listened to your still quiet voice and done what was right. 

Lessened learned. 

Praying for your will. 

Knowing now that only you Daddy know what is best for your precious daughter. 

I had finally, finally passed this test. 

Now I can rest my weary head.
