She stares at the people around her Speechless. At the hurtful words and actions that was flung her direction. Intimidated, she started running away. And yet those poisonous arrows still stings her heart.
Confused and isolated, She ran further, seeking refuge Yet there was none, She ran faster, seeking for safety Yet reality looms largely on her.
Defeated, she retreated into the dark recess Of the dark miry waters. Wanting the cold darkness, to perhaps Soothe the many wounds, Per chance she could just die there, which seems like the only escape.
Yet as she closed her eyes to shut out the heart wrenching thoughts, The familiar thug on her heart made the tears that she has been holding back for so long cascade down her scarred face.
She then frantically tried to explain That she didn’t wanted it to be this way That she simply could not just go on anymore That her hands were dirty, her heart was filthy No longer worthy to be called His.
He gently hushed her distressed voice And reached out to touch her heart Meeting her weakness with His grace Using her inability with His power Overcoming her misgivings with His faithfulness
The familiar whisper into her ears told her to not hide But stand To not doubt but trust in His sovereignty. To not fear but take courage and be strong To not mourn, but to drink deeply from His eternal love.
He then took her into His arms and embraced her In a way that she knew that only He could. Healing her heart, reaffirming His purpose, Loving Her once again as if she have never wronged Him.Faithfully and graciously restoring her brokenness.
Touching her at the deepest recesses of her soul and spirit, And changing her into His image. He smiled down at her, His daughter, And called her His once more.
She now know that He wills her To let go of herself, and to go out once again, Offering herself as His witness to carry His cross And To face what was in front of her Trusting Him to fulfill what He has spoken over her.
Like an infant learning to walk, She wobbles and takes each step slowly Like a child going to her first lesson She stares back fearfully, looking for assertion from her Father. afraid to be left alone, anxious that she will fall once again.
And yet, He still smiles at His precious creation, As she takes a deep breath and stands out, trusting Him He will be with her, making sure that she is safe, giving her His strength and power over her weakness. Yes, He will be there, to catch each and every fallen tear.
“Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll (or put my tears in your wineskin) are they not in your record?” Psalm 56:8
