Doubts

Doubts come

Sometimes we just pass through them 

They are fleeting

Gone within moments

Other times 

doubts come

and bring us down 

down 

down 

We clamor to get out

but the walls of 

useless

unusable

unnecessary 

keep us closed in 

No one reaches out

No one says
"Come" 

No one says
"Join the group" 

"We need you" 

And our doubts

become fears

And our fears 

lead us down a path

we don't want to follow 

yet we go 

Won't someone please! 
Lord, help me
I don't like this place 
I don't like 
these insecurities
battling within 

Where is the Light?!

And Jesus answers,
I am here, my child
I am always with you
The walls 
do not have to cave in 
and smother you 

Take my hand child, 
grasp hold
I will not let you go 
You are indispensable to me
You are mine
I love you.
