I must not just complain; I must seek help

I must not just complain; I must seek help

My sorrow overflows from deep wells of regret until I find my rest in you, but I will never take a complaint onto my lips for my mouth is full of joy. Though my sins are ever before me, my eyes are fixed on you. As your servant says, “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has never overcome it”. I see your light and I come to you. Dwelling among us, you have shown us the Father’s grace and truth, bestowing on us grace upon grace. We did not know what to do, but now we do. Bitterly aware of our suffering, we had no remedy, till you made known your grace and truth – and gave him to us. For no principle was strong enough; even the most inspiring vision did not suffice, but you made love incarnate, and presented us with a person. “Now you see. Follow him”. In his company, he who is nearest to the Father’s heart, we can abide by his side. There is a redeemer, and we can turn to him. Hope and peace are open to us.
