your words
cut like daggers
your eyes
show your disappointment
I have failed
I let you down
I will never measure up
I am worthless
Pain overflows
it runs down my cheeks
the ache overwhelms
sobs begin to shake my body
I am despicable
I messed up again
I can’t get it right
I am a waste of time
silence
but the sound of my weeping
stillness
but the shaking of my body
A voice on the wind
A hand on my face
Arms enfolding me
Tears on another face
“You are perfect
I love you
You are beautiful
I dance at the sight of you”
“I have chosen you
You cause me to sing for joy
I do not condemn you.
You are my treasure, my delight.”
silence
my weeping begins to quiet
stillness
my body ceases to shake
I rest
Quieted by the beauty of love
I heal
touched by the tearstained face

this spoke to me today Brit. thank you. I can relate so much, but also...makes me want to reach out arms of love to people in Christ's name, and give them affirmation that comes from Him. you know? it's how my pain from the past {and even present} used by Him to minister to others because I 'know' their pain and have been in that place before. somehow it almost makes the suffering easier to know that I will better be able to minister to others.
sigh... i like it, Brit. sometimes it's so hard for me to imagine a picture like this. I don't know why I believe the lies so often... this is beautiful
