will we yield?

“When we stand
in the middle of a lifestorm,
it seems as if the storm
has become our way of life.
We cannot see a way out.
We are unable to chart a course
back to smoother waters.
We feel defeated--and broken.
Will that brokenness produce a cynicism
that will keep us forever
in the mire of "if only" thinking?
Or will we yield up that brokenness
to the resources of One
who calms the winds and the waves,
heals the brokenhearted,
and forgives the most grievous of sins?
The choice is ours.”
