Why, How, When?

Missing image

 

 

Why
did you have to
die?

Why
did you have to
leave me alone?

Why
have I carried my anger
for so many years?

How
can I look at
myself

without seeing your
death in my own
frame?

How
can I even breath
without you?

How
have I managed to
live this long?

When
will my stony heart
crack open?

When
will the tears
finally pour freely?

When
will I lay down
my soul-shield?

Forgive me
for my anger
for my pride
for my self-reliance
all these years.

I am at the place
of surrender - finally.

I yield to You
my God.

Please
fix
me.

I trust You.
I love You.
I know You.
I worship You.
I stay in Your love
forever.

 

I am Yours

and that

is

enough. 

 

 

 

Author notes

The song "Who am I" by Casting Crowns has shown me that all that matters is that I am His - forever.

 

"Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are"

    Simply But Strongly Stated

    Well I believe you are right on target with this write. For it is not through anything we have done or can do that makes us deserving og Him. yet He still loves and accepts us, if we will just turn to Him.

    Thank you for this write and for aharing it with us. I appreciate youo entering it here. God Bless and Good Luck!
