His promise

As a child, my house was full of bitterness and hatred.
In the bitterness and hatred, my parents isolated me.
From the hatred I learned not to trust. After the bitterness I learned on others do not depend.

When I grew able, I left that house.
But because I was isolated, I didn’t understand the world of people.
Their patterns and flow were strange to me.

I was alone.

I grew older…alone.
I cried and asked God why? What have I done, that I should be so alone.

One day God placed a man into my care.
He was damaged. Broken in spirit, broken in heart, broken in soul,
broken in confidence and just as alone.

I gave him shelter. I became his protector until he no longer needed one.

Suddenly, I was no longer alone. God had answered me.

The man became my partner, my companion, and my heart’s twin. I was him and he me!

With all that I had, I thanked God every day.

From the man I learned ‘love unconditional’. I learned how to trust, and trust without limits. The man gave me a home, not a house full of bitterness and hatred and isolation.

With all that I had, I thanked God every day

Then one night, my heart was taken.
God’s gift was returned to its proper place.
But the man had prepared. He made sure I would need for nothing.

He is gone.

But with all that I have, I thank God for the man he sent to me.

I thank God everyday for the gifts of love and trust.
