Where Struggles and Dreams Collide

I found my God where my
                         struggles and dreams
                                   collide...
in this connection between my doubts and my hopes
    when I'm confronted with the tension and
                                           the relationship
                             between the two.
My hurt and my weakness surface
              as I strive towards where I want to be
       and my God meets me there.
He meets me in the tension.
He meets me in the mess.
He meets me as who I am and shows me who I can be.
He finds me in my struggle
      and reminds me of my dreams
My God is a God that draws me close
                              and beckons me on
   who sees my doubt
   and invites me to something more.
He holds my hurt
           and asks me to welcome healing.
It's in my brokenness and all of my doubt
     that I feel His reassuring heartbeat
           beckoning me to come...
