Stripped away

Sometimes God reduces us to ashes in order to create us anew

When you are at nothing 
When everything is taken away
Your partner first
Then your work 
Then your family 
And all the while your mind
Where do you go
From nothing?
But my foundation is strong
In my Saviour Jesus 
He stripped me bare 
From the world 
Then when I was at nothing 
It was there I found 
Once again
Him

And so I stayed for a while
Just us two
While He told me of the plan he had for me
It's perfect I said 
How could it be anything less?
And then 
After a time we began to rebuild 
One dream at at time

Life can be tough and at times we can seem to hit rock bottom. Digging your way out of that hole needs a helping hand. You've described your own way well here Caroline. I know from my own experience that family has pulled me back from the manic abyss.
Look after yourself!
All the best.

I've been surrounded by good people all my life thank God but and I'm sure u will agree..no-one really understands the struggle..that's why I turned to God..He was my last and only hope..and I found Him!which still amazes me to this day 30 years on lol..He's really real 😊 thank you Alan for taking the time to read and review my work.. its good to have kindred spirit... 🙂

I agree Caroline. I must be upfront and say that I'm not a believer but I can understand how faith can sustain in times of trouble.
Take care,
