When You Fall
There are times when
you just feel tired,
tired of trying to fix things
tired of trying to carry on.
You tried to write that book
but it can’t be finished
You tried to record that song
but it won’t be heard
You tried to dream
but all felt hopeless
You tried to love
but no love came in return.
It’s that kind of tiredness
that won’t turn into rest
that exhaustion
of both body and soul.
It’s that kind of weariness
that you can’t just shake off
or put your mind into
so it would go away.
It never goes away
until you surrender
until you release
everything that weighs you down.
You don’t lift yourself up
you let yourself fall
you don’t beat yourself up
you forgive and you let go
You hope for someone else
to catch you
someone who will not
let you down
You are never certain
but you have no choice but to believe
Sometimes you have to let someone in
sometimes you have to trust again.
“Come to me, all you who labour and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” – Matthew 11, WEBBE
With Jesus, there is always Someone to catch us when we fall. The only question is, “Will we let Him?”
Find hope in your darkest hour.
