So... this is my first post. ever.
I have one topic that has been on my heart lately and kind of inspired the whole start-a-blog-idea anyways. I've got it all penciled out in my "inspiration notebook" and its sort of in poetry form so I'll copy it out here.
"In my distress I cried unto the LORD,
and He heard me. ~Psalm 120:1
What amazing simplicity.
You are distressed-
hurting
confused
worrying
anxious
in misery
sorrowful
feeling wretched
in pain
feeling dejection
irritated
suffering
aching
in desolation
in anguish
afflicted
woeful
tormented
shamed
embarrassed
disappointed in yourself
feeling as if life is nothing but tribulation
YOU ARE.
But I cried unto the LORD, and He heard ME.
He heard me.
He didn't laugh at me.
He wasn't disappointed in me.
He wasn't embarrassed by me.
He wasn't irritated with me.
Not anxious about my life.
Not confused by what He set before me;
No. He heard me.
He listened to me.
Despite my distress He loved me.
Ignoring others scorn.
Ignoring my own feelings of embarrassment and disappointment in myself.
HE loved me.
He delivered me.
He healed my pain.
He raised me out of the sorrow.
He took away the anxiety.
He shed light on the confusion
That feeling of wretchedness?
He replaced it with love.
That place of woe?
He filled with love.
That pain of rejection?
He covered with love.
The place of misery?
He made new with love.
The ache in my heart?
He mended with love.
That hate for self?
He restored with love.
He heard me.
He changed me.
He gave me worth.
He taught me love.
Cry out to God.
He will hear you.
