The Lull

Let her sleep

By Colleen WaltersPublished 2 years ago • Updated 10 months ago • 1 min read

She lays her head on her pillow and flips her hair up and over the back of it. She stares at the cornflower blue wall as if it will bring Him back , and as she drifts off to sleep, He comes.

He sees how she washed the tears away again, like a professional. He watched her as the tears fell down like rain, and He knows why. And who they’re for.

So for now, He’ll let her cry.

He knows her heart, and her struggles are not her own, and He remembers when she said “ send me, I’ll go.” He sent her, and she went. And she’s still going, for someone she loves, willing to go into the thick of battle with a Spirit that won’t let her quit. Against an enemy who won’t quit. Against a heart that won't quit.

So for now, He’ll let her sleep.
