Advent Impressions: "Oaks of His Strength"

 I don't understand

Why this happened...

to us?

Dark times

Endless bleakness

Empty promises

Outright lies.

"Repairer of the Ruined,"

Our bodies are worn,

Patience threadbare,

and friendships ripped apart.

All we have are fragments,

Fragments of friendships,

Fragments of empathy,

Fragments of faith.

Repair us,

make us whole once again.

Put a song in our hearts,

"For He who is mighty,

Has done great things,

And Holy is His name."


Gleanings based on Isaiah 61:4

They will rebuild what are ruins and crushed dreams of times past. He will bring them a promising future and will strengthen the hearts of those deserted, some who have wandered aimlessly for generations. The people receiving hope renewed will be known as "Oaks of His Strength."
