I Wish …….

I wish i was there for you when you needed someone to talk to

Although i was not present with you physically,

I could feel your pain, but i did not understand how bad it was.

My heart tried reaching out to you,

But i was too busy trying to fix my own life.

I had a lot to deal with, but the truth is

My life was at that time awesome,

But the human nature in me wanted much more

In my selfishness, He kept whispering to me ….

That you were in need of someone to talk to, hug and lean on

He kept saying to me…..

Reach out to him, and do it now He said!

Then i did, but just to fulfill all righteousness.

I did not do as i was sent, but i wish i did.

When i finally reached out to you,

We only had a brief conversation,

You did not open up,

I could sense the weight you were carrying

But i wanted to get back to fixing my own life,

So i did not bother to ask you the right questions,

Because i knew it will take so much time to hear and answer them.

How i wish i had asked you those questions,

I would have saved myself the guilt and hurt of this moment.

The time spent asking those questions now that things have gone so bad,

And this seemingly hopeless state of things, i could have saved.

 

I wish i could turn back the hands of time, but i cannot.

I can only say i will try as much as i can never to be too late again,

But i cannot promise you i will always be there for you

As bad as this sounds , it is the undeniable truth,

Because i sometimes get too busy with my own life.

But there is someone who will always be there for you,

He has never left you and does not intend to.

Even in your darkest hours of your life,

He is always near,

As messy as things are right now, He is with you,

Willing to help you and bring you out of it all.

Will you let Him?

Or will you try to find a way out yourself?

I advise you lay it all at His feet ,

And let Him fix it all.

As much as i wish i can do all these for you,

It is merely a wish ..….

 

ISAIAH 41:10

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
