In The Midst of Tears!!

There are some days that everything within me screams out “No more Lord, please no more!” as the physical pain I feel at times rips through my body like a thousand nerves exposed and tears flow.

It is at this time that I realize the price that the Lord paid on the cross for me, for us! That my pain is small compared to the pain, the suffering He bore on the cross and it causes me to stay focused on Him.

It is during these times, He gives me strength, that He enables me to write, to share and declare the awesomeness of His love and His compassion for us.

Through the tears, I feel His presence, His love, His understanding. Knowing that He is walking with me, carrying me through this time in my life. Through the times of fear, of loneliness, of memories, He is there!

It is through these times that He gives us hope! That in the midst of the dark nights of the soul, He lets us see with the eyes of faith.

In the midst of tears I see clearly His compassion, His heart and like the Psalmist David, I am able to declare His love.

That in the midst of the pain, of the tears, of loneliness, of fear, of wanting to let go, He embraces us, like a Father, He holds us tight and lets us pour it all out and absorbs the pain, the hurt, the wounds and He gives us strength to press on to write, to share and to give what He has given us, to others and that is Hope!!

He takes all that we are, all that we go through and all that we will be and makes us vessels that will shine forth the hope that is within. That from within, we will begin to shine forth the glory of who He is and what He has done and what He is doing within.

Till Later,
Paul
