Hi friends!

I was looking through some of the poems I wrote over the past few years, and I found one I wanted to share with my readers.

Over the past year I’ve been in a bit of a rut, feeling really down and trying to cling to Jesus the best that I can. By faith I believe I’m coming out of that season, however, that season was a very real and hard one to go through. Some days I felt like I couldn’t see any evidence that Jesus was doing anything in my life.

I was wrong of course, Jesus is always at work. And even in the darkness, I caught glimpses of his grace and the passion I once had for him. That’s what this poem is about! I hope you enjoy it!

GLIMPSES

This room is blank.

This mind is dull.

Blinded by sin, 

Dimmed by the fall.

But when I see

Glimpses of him.

My eyes let go

And smile again. 

I’ve never seen

Your face in full.

And if I had,

Then I’d be dead.

For who can peer

Behind the veil

And see his Glory

So full and rare.

For when my heart

Refused to yield

And did not care

For Christ my King.

I glimpsed the cross

And saw the thorns 

Till at his feet 

I wept and mourned

If I don’t feel

His grace for me.

His perfect gift, 

Given for free.

Then let me glimpse 

His love again

So that I know

I’m in his hand.

For though life’s shadows

Seem to grow.

Infinite love

Is by my side

And just a glimpse 

At that great promise

Still gives me hope

And joy in life.

So catch those glimpses 

Small and large

And hold them tight 

To your heart,

For risen Jesus

Will show you more

For he is with you

Evermore.

I hope you enjoyed that poem! If you’d like to read more of my poems, check out Poems for the Redeemed Heart which can be bought on Amazon!

Hope y’all have an amazing day!

Grace and Peace,
