INTERSECTION

HIS soothing Love has gentled my spirit
    Giving strength to my solace
          That I may join you in yours
               To be indeed that friend in need

No need for words to part my lips
     For there are volumes spoken in this quiet silence

I am here for you at this point in time
     Having drawn from common experience
          The strength needed to endure
               That you may see in me that tomorrow will surely come

Our paths have crossed
     Our hearts connected
          Healing and comfort
               Spirits uplifted

We may not meet again beyond this moment
     Be strong and do take courage
          For Love and Grace have smiled upon us
               And this we must pass on

Proverbs 18:24 NAS
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Psalm 31:24 NAS
Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.

Numbers 6:23-26 NAS
You shall say to them:
The LORD bless you, and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine on you,
     And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance on you,
     And give you peace.'

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NAS
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
