I "see" you

This is something I wrote a while ago.  Someone I love in my life has an illness that is very difficult...for her and for all of us that love her.  Thank you for your prayers...


I see you in there, even when you aren't in front of me.

Your words are saying things that I don't understand, but I see you.
The sound of your voice is different, the look in your eye has changed.
But I see you.
There are layers between us you need to fight through.
I get glimpses of the love that you are usually saturated in.  The love that we are so familiar with.
The darkness is real.  I can actually feel it.
I think you can see me, too.  You just can't reach me yet.
You will.  Don't worry.  Don't be scared.  I know you see me.
Jesus is with you.  Yes, even in the dark and scary places. 
Hold on to Him.
My prayers for you are what keeps me connected to you...despite the abyss between us now.
I've been granted peace - definitely a peace that cannot be understood because my flesh is fearful.
I hope you have peace where you are, beyond what we are seeing in front of us.
I'm certain you do.

Why does this happen?  Why you?  Why me?

Why not this?  Why not you?  Why not me?

I will never give you more than you can bear...I will give you a way out.

Jesus said that.  He is with you.  He is with me.
The darkness between us can't help but to be overcome with the Light of the Word.
Even a single candle in a dark room illuminates the space.
Our prayers are the candle.  His Presence is the light.
The darkness will be overcome.  It has no choice.
I miss you.  Hold on a little longer. 
Don't stop looking out from where you are.  Keep fighting.

My heart hurts for you.  I hate this.

This road is rocky and difficult to travel.  It is exhausting.

I am with you.  I am waiting for you.  And never forget...

I SEE YOU.
