Now that the storm is over
You’re not hunkered down
An apparent calmness reigns,
Takes the victor’s crown.
‘It’s no slight thing’
That you’re still here
Where others have fallen away.
The same God
Who brings the storms
Is the One who saves.
Now that it’s back to normal
You’ve got a life to live
Surrender comes in the aftermath
Of a raging fit.
It’s no slight thing
That you went through it
When He could’ve left you alone.
The same God
Who pleases with gifts
Is the One who sits enthroned.
Now that your life looks different
The storm having marked you hard
Don’t equivocate just go with,
Commit to His regard.
It’s no slight thing
To go forward
Embracing what comes next.
The same God
Who sees you
Will not His child neglect.
-DRadaker
For all the new mamas: “I love these little people; and it is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.”
Charles Dickens
