For my Little Sis

Tired of fighting,
Tired of tears,
Tired of succumbing,
To unspoken fears.

Ready for a change,
To happen within,
Oh, Lord, please show me,
For alone I can’t win.

Please show me how to fix this,
Tell me what I’m doing wrong.
I’m so tired of our arguing,
How we can’t seem to get along.

I miss the old times,
Not so long ago,
What happened between then and now?
I doubt we’ll ever know.

We can never truly go back,
The past must be the past,
But we can adjust to modern day,
And our friendship will last.

We can come out stronger,
This happened for our good,
For God made us that promise*,
And trust Him we should.

For He knows the plans He has for us,
Plans for a future and for hope*,
He is the God of all comfort*,
And He will help us cope.

Girlie, hold onto his promise,
And never let go,
For the storms are truly coming,
To toss you to and fro.

But Jesus is the rock*,
The one who calmed the storm*,
He is the creator of the universe*,
Who with words the whole world formed.

And know that I will be here,
As long as He’ll allow,
I won’t be on Earth forever,
But I can promise you that for now.

I love you, little sister,
That I hope you never doubt,
Remember He whose love is greater,
The One we could never truly live without.
