A Walk Through The Pain

Sometimes we can't see the truth through our fear, because fear is a formidable opponent. But more often than not, it is a figment of our imagination. An imagination that insists on forecasting the future through the lens of fear. And fear always creates more fear.  But there is something that can always break through fear:  LOVE!  Specifically, the love of God.

I sit alone in the dark

Pain consuming my soul.

I’m spinning in space,

Spinning out of control.

My whole world is in chaos.

Peace cannot be found.

Love has forsaken me.

Hope has not made a sound.

I rage against God who is 

Outside and beyond me,

Now when I urgently need Him,

He won’t answer my plea.

I believed He was loving,

I was properly grateful.

But now I see the truth,

He is spiteful and vengeful.

He has turned a deaf ear

To my soul-wrenching call.

He has stricken me down,

Condemned me to free fall.

My pain overtakes me

With a mighty crescendo,

My mind, racked with fear,

Wonders where did my faith go?

Then, right at that moment,

The pinnacle of my pain,

Light fills my world,

And I’m grounded again.

I turn my eyes inward

And I know what I’ll find,

That God lives in my heart

While fear lives in my mind.

I speak humbly to God,

And I accept all of the blame.

I thank Him sincerely

For His love midst the pain.

Except for my blindness,

He was there all the while

And as my whole world turns brilliant,

God takes my hand with a smile.
