In a Dry Land

Donka Kristeva

Where Truth and Love reside,
evil cannot hide,
the voice is louder,
the heart-- stronger,
and trust in God abides.

I am a pilgrim
in a dry and arid land,
walking through heaps of sand.
Star-lit sky is my guide,
it leads me to a deep well
of the cool waters of Life.

    Thank you for this heart-felt comment! Praise the Lord! Psalm 63 talks about the thirst for God. David always spoke his heart to God... And Psalm 84--our light in a dark world. Be blessed

    Excellent. God honouring, Amazingly succinct. Making it through a desert time. Thanking the stars. Please read Psalms 84 and 63…Wayne Blair.
