The tunnel was the only way before me
A dark narrow hollow tunnel
I walked alone
The more I walked the more fearful it got
I wished I had a lamp a candle a torch
or someone alongside
May be there were,
many
each engaged, in finding their own way out,
so it seemed
I stumbled
Feared much
Until a still little voice said ‘ This is the way, walk’
I chose to follow that faint whisper
No other choice
In that dark hour, was it wise to trust that faint voice?
Anything could happen
In that narrow dark hollow tunnel
But trust I did
The more I trusted the more vigorously I walked
Though distractions and temptations caused me to disobey
that guiding voice
And disobey I did
My strength failed
Now stranded hopeless
in that narrow dark hollow tunnel
I decided to trust Him again
Soon my feet found new strength
I walked
Though fear still had it’s grip on me
I had no choice
I walked
stumbling hurting
Broken
Bruised
I walked
And walked more
And when I sensed someone standing distantly ahead
I walked faster
I walked more
and more
A streak of light
It turned bright
brighter
indicating to me that I was out of the tunnel
the journey was done
that dark narrow and hollow journey
I didn’t think I could make it
I didn’t think I could make it!
I said repeatedly
Suddenly I heard someone cheering
It wasn’t exactly a teacher
Wasn’t exactly a preacher
It was more like someone
who liked giving folks a pat on the back
a happy cheek peck
I could sense in my heart what He said
He was like an audible whisper
A thunder
A glow
He said “I knew you would make it
I have put in you more than you know!
Trusting Rhymes – by Sophia Lorena Benjamin
I was in a car accident when I was 11. I broke my jaw in 5 places. As I laid in the ambulance feeling terrified a heard a voice, it said “Jesus will take care of you” and I relaxed. During the ambulance ride I aspirated and died briefly. I was revived by a touch from my mother.
I know that small voice. Trust it.
