"I am so tired.
As is everyone else.
Oh, we run and we try to do better,
to solve it all;
oh, to have peace
that our faith is worth believing
in.
God.
You are not cruel.
You do not have a glimmer of selfishness in you.
You are.
You are the great I AM.
Where else is glory due but to You?
Pain and suffering are a picture of darkness: without You and your hope,
life
IS
void.
But it is not the pain and suffering that is terrible.
The hurt comes through how we always react to theses trials.
In releasing our human pride and anger, we are free to accept the contentment and perfect, deep love You eternally offer.
In every little trial, You give us an opportunity to see how your
Love
conquers
all.
It's not easy.
No, darling, it's certainly not.
Oh, my, it's hard.
Some days will get brighter.
But some days will still be quiet and cold.
Do you remember how He made you light up, though?
You remember.
Oh, all that fear bottled up.
All that fear is just an idea.
You doubt your faith because you worry it's all been a facade of feelings or experiences, that it hasn't been dynamic enough to change you for good, that it all might be in your head.
What has manifested itself all around you? What has compelled you to sacrifice time and time again? What power has overcome your will to stand? Who has comforted you on the nights you thought should be your last?
Where is your heart, beautiful?
Oh, don't throw away the dreams He's made reality for you!
I ask you, what is just an idea? WHAT is just a feeling?
What can be conquered?
Oh, you fearsome beauty.
Give in to what holds fast.
You're all in; you know that.
Let your heart go there.
Let yourself be possessed by the truth!
This is what you were made for
Your doubts are ever-existent but so fleeting.
What never changes makes you renewed."
