Driftwood

by: Carole L. Haines

Carried along on currents not of her own choosing

she feels like she’s drowning,

but she’s really learning to float on the Ocean of God

Her dreams are lost and cast out to Sea,

but God has better dreams for her

She is carried through storms, until all hope seems lost,

 this is how she learns that Jesus is hope itself

 Now washed upon a beautiful beach,

in a place unknown, unfamiliar;

 peace that passes understanding warms her heart

because through it all

She has learned to lean on Him

to trust Him

to rest in Him

With God there are no Oceans He has not created

there are no beaches that are lonely

For He is everywhere present with us, His Beloved
