Come Out

Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus come out.” John 11:43
There’s a rut in my brain
from thinking the same thing 
over and over again.

Terror of the grim reaper 
memories of mistakes
regrets digs deeper

and deeper I sink in
the narrow grave of despair.
Life is so unfair. 

Today, I hit bottom 
when I stopped digging
and instead of thinking
offered up a prayer. 
			 
That’s when the ladder dropped
and I heard another thought, 
“Come Out.”

The rut filled in
I got what I crave, God
called me out of my grave. 

Friends, I’d love to know your reactions. Send me a message or just click on the heart. Love to hear from you always.

Can you think of someone who might get a lift from this poem?
