Grief
When
I say
'My bed
will comfort
me',
my couch
will ease
my complaint,'
then
Thou dost scare
me with dreams
and
terrify me
with
visions.
[Job 7:13-14]
******************
"Why don't You
HELP me,
Lord?"
[QUIET VOICE.]
"I am,
child."
(Grimace.)
(Laugh.)
"Yeah,
RIGHT."
[TENDER VOICE.]
"Why don't
You trust
Me,
child?"
(Shrug.)
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
(Mumble.)
"I ain't asking
for GOLD,
Lord."
[QUIET VOICE.]
"You're
not,
My child?"
(Sigh.)
(Nod.)
"Yeah;
I guess,
I am."
[SILENCE.]
"I've always
had these...
horribly
vivid......
DREAMS..."
[NOD.]
"Only.....
now,
they're
about
HIM."
[QUIET VOICE.]
"Yes,
My child."
(Look up.)
(Squint.)
"Do YOU
DREAM,
LORD?"
[TENDER SMILE.]
(Long pause.)
"I've often
wondered....."
[SOFT VOICE.]
"Yes,
My child?"
(Shrug.)
"....Nothin'."
[QUIET VOICE.]
"Tell Me,
child."
"If.....
if, JESUS
has DREAMS....
about
Calvary*."
[TENDER SMILE.]
"Perhaps
child,
you should
ask
Him."
****************
For
I know
that
my Redeemer
lives,
and
at last
He will stand
upon
the earth.
[Job 19:25]
