This poem has no resolution. No happy ending, no philosophical summaries, no ted talks.. we just feeling what we feel and that’s that
No words for this one except love shouldn’t feel like this
“Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering” Isaiah 53:4. One thing for certain he will carry your cross, one thing for certain Christ will always carry the burden for you. My beloved, I could lasso the sun and hand it to you, I could rearrange the stars to spell out your name but I could never love you how God loves you. As we close off the year, let’s thank Christ for taking our pain.
I have spent a good chunk of this year wollowing, and wilting. I was so stuck in the past, keeping tally of people who have hurt me. Refusing to move from that space and trusting Christ, I didn’t trust him as my shepherd. So I remained in the same spot, turning into a pillar of salt. This new year may we build the muscle of faith, that what God has in store surpasses anything my simple mind could conceive.
“But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.”
Romans 8:25
If you’re waiting for your Love just take a breath and be patient. Do not awaken love until the time is right, when Love comes it will be in Gods divine and perfect timing, it will be effortless, it wont bring confusion, it wont bring hurt. Love never fails, hold onto that hope of finding it
One thing is that they always come back. But we stand firm in our decision, we trust that God only has better in store for us. Most importantly we NEVER go back to things God has removed us from.
I think its time we learnt how to choose people who see love the same way as us. Teach your feet to leave when love isn’t reciprocated.
How does one learn how to exist within peace, when all you've known is destruction. At some point we have to realise that we've operating through trauma; its time to deconstruct that and learn how to live a life that isnt constanly on fire.
