Easter Poem

Sometimes, I feel that God is so far away. I had so much faith that this baby would come to full term and we would have a big and beautiful family, yet as I sit here in a quiet home with empty arms, I wonder if God can hear me.

But this morning, when I woke up, I was immediately reminded that God also has suffered the loss of a child. Not only did his son have to die, but God had to orchestrate the death, stand by, and watch it happen. I know he can relate to my pain and the anger and shame that I’m feeling over this loss.

However, God and his son Jesus were reunited again. Jesus was raised from the dead and taken into heaven to be with his father forever. This gives me hope that if something is serious and unavoidable, as death can be overcome, then the situation I’m facing is no match for God. Because of Jesus‘s sacrifice, my baby is in Heaven, and I will have the opportunity to see him soon.

“And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:3-4
