God has pushed the pause button on my life, for now.

This morning, these words came to mind, so I jotted them down:

A SPACE FOR GOD’S GRACE

Being tossed, to and fro,

Ne’er a moment to call one’s own,

Up and down, no control,

Until the moment you are thrown

With unabandoned haste,

O’er the fence to a quiet place,

(Lost to the world, for now)

With God’s own hand and loving grace.

His Providence provides

A time for rest, a space for peace,

Renew my wavering soul,

O God, and cause my fears to cease.

God takes me by the hand,

(He reaches down as I reach up)

We’ll walk this path as one,

His grace will always be enough.

– C. Mason
