Closer to Heaven

The broken hearted

are closer to Heaven

than those who are sure of themselves.

Angels speak

to those who are lonely

in whispers of hope on every breath.

Tears that fall

leave a path

that only God can follow.

Solitude is that place

only one step away

from the footsteps of Jesus.

At the time of our greatest need

He is there.

In our time of deepest sorrow

His unseen arms hold us

closest to his heart.

Our hearts long for that home

where we have never yet stood.

We are homesick

for a place we have never seen

and have never been...

but are aching to go.

In our loneliness

we find the creator

of all

who awaits our weary souls

to look for Him.

Solitude is God

with no other one to equal his being.

Does he alone wait for the time we have to spend with him?

Does he feel as alone as we do

while waiting for us to seek His face?
