“God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness.” Psalm 57:3b

when i wander into 
the shadowed alleys 
hoping for a quick fix
for my addiction to fear,
your love comes trotting 
behind me, pulling on 
my pants leg until i 
look down to notice
and
then it leads me back
toward the lighted entrance
where you are waiting
to take me to that rehab 
center known as your
heart.
