Where I Am

Where I am, there You are- never to leave nor forsake. The places that hold me are the places You've placed me. Your promises urge me to trust You, seduce me to succumb to Your goodness. Where You are, there is joy, not always happiness but certainly joy- inexplicable joy, unchangeable joy. Deep, salvation-seeded joy. Happiness is superficial, joy is internally and eternally rooted. Where I am, there You are, even if I'm not where I want to be. I'm with You, all that I need. I will follow You into darkness because I know that You are light. Good things You have prepared, good things You will do. Only the best for me, who deserves only the worst, from You.
