“In me there is darkness,
But with You there is light;
I am lonely, but You do not leave me;
I am feeble in heart, but with You there is help;
I am restless, but with You there is peace.
In me there is bitterness, but with You there is patience;
I do not understand Your ways,
But You know the way for me.”
“Lord Jesus Christ,
You were poor
And in distress, a captive and forsaken as I am.
You know all man’s troubles;
You abide with me
When all men fail me;
You remember and seek me;
It is Your will that I should know You
And turn to You.
Lord, I hear Your call and follow;
Help me.”
This was so eloquently beautiful. Bonhoeffer was one of the true heroes of the faith. These words almost sound like a psalm.
ReplyDeleteYes, in every moment of darkness, the Son shines His Presence.
GOD BLESS!

Sharon, thank you for coming over. I appreciated Bonhoeffer's words and am eternally grateful for the Word that became flesh and that His life is the light of men.
DeleteI live Bonhoeffer's writings. So profoundly deep. So thankful He shines through all of the areas of darkness in my life.
ReplyDeleteHe does! And to think we may reflect His light! May our faces shine as we behold Him.
DeleteI do not understand Your ways,
ReplyDeleteBut You know the way for me.
Oh, this is what a need to grasp on to for today! Thank you and thanks for linking up again!
