In Shattered Echoes, Divine Grace #79

In Shattered Echoes, Divine Grace In shards of a heart once whole and bright, Where fractures gleam in sorrow's light, There, in the depths of a broken prayer, God's will whispers in the silent air. When life's cruel boot, in unforeseen ways, Strikes the gut in the darkest of days, There, in the gasp of a stolen breath, God's Spirit breathes, defying death. In the labyrinth of pain's endless night, Where shadows flit, obscuring sight, Hope's faint ember, a steadfast star, Guides weary souls from near and far. Through trials that bend, but never break, In moments frail, when spirits quake, There, in the persistence of a steady faith, Lies the path that mercy paves. So, with a heart in pieces, yet strong, And a spirit in pain, but not for long, March on, brave soul, through every test, In patience, in faith, in goodness, be blessed. -Written by Steven G.
