Jesus’ Heart
When heart is dark
and heavy, set
in tangles of
its sunken nets,
when tears and grinding
teeth are spent
and eyes though seeing
are glimmerless...
will Jesus save you
where you went?
You went, or taken
with consent,
the future distant,
foresightless,
your conscience slipshod
misdirected,
and now you’re smitten
...with regret.
Can Jesus save you
where you went?
Forgive yourself
for where you went.
The circumstance,
though seen not best,
is just the thing
He circumvents
to lead you into
His own breast
where You can hear
His heart’s intent...
and know He saves you
where you went.

When a young girl, an intense passion for music was awakened within my soul. Father brought great joy into my life by presenting me with a beautiful organ. It would thrill me to the very fibre of my being, as the days slipped by, to be able to draw forth such wonderful harmony from my beloved instrument.
I used to sit at the organ in the early morning hours, just as the birds began to awaken, and through the open windows listen to their sweet little bird notes as they mingled with the melody of the organ, like a paean of praise to our Creator!
Then, one morning, quite suddenly, and at a time when I was preparing with girlish enthusiasm for my first concert appearance, one of the notes became faulty. How the discordant sound grated upon my sensitive ear. Father, sensing my grief, said: "Never mind, daughter, I will have the tuner come." Long hours the tuner worked on that faulty note before it again rang out all sweet and true with the others. And the concert was a success, because the tuner was successful! -author unknown
