Jackson has a powerful way with words, painting human suffering and the refuge and safety of God in such a moving way. These poems give words to honest lament and point the reader back to the answer to every pain and ache in this life.
“Seeking,
Inquiring,
a quivering communion in the silence of prayer, rescued before I knew I was drowning.
Pulled out of fear before I could name it. …
And I will praise You in every season- not only when it is easy, but when it breaks me open.
You encamp around me-
not at a distant watch,
but as a living protection.
An ongoing presence that does not move
when I do. …
Look to Him.
Rest your eyes.
Reach-
touch the hem,
the single thread of His robe.
It is not fragile,
it is not uncertain-
it holds.”
