♥And God Said♥

I said,
"God, I hurt."
And God said,
"I know."

I said,
"God, I cry a lot."
And God said,
"That is why I gave you tears."

I said,
"God, I am so depressed."
And God said,
"That is why I gave you Sunshine."

I said,
"God, life is so hard."
And God said,
"That is why I gave you loved ones."

I said,
"God, my loved one died."
And God said,
"So did mine."

I said,
"God, it is such a loss."
And God said,
"I saw mine nailed to the cross."

I said,
"God, but your loved one lives."
And God said,
"So does yours."

I said,
"God, where are they now?"
And God said,
"Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light."

I said,
"God, it hurts."
And God said,
"I know."

♥Morning Will Come♥

Brokenhearted...
How can I bear the pain?
So many plans.. permanently interrupted.
Hopes...dashed
All gone.
Why?
Why this?
Why us? Why me?
Helplessness...hopelessness...
Life will never be the same again.
Is it even worth living?
Where are you God?

I'm right here beside you, my child.
Even through you may not feel my presence,
I'm holding you close under the shadow of my wings.
I will walk with you through this dark night
Do not shrink from weeping
I gave you tears for emotional release
Don't try to hide your grief
Let it become a source of healing
A process of restoration
For I have planned it so.
Those who morn shall be blessed
I'll be holding onto you
Even when you feel you can't hold onto me
Seek my face, child of mine
Receive my promise, impossible, as it may seem now
That joy will come in the morning
It may take much time
but I will heal your broken heart
I know the night seems endless
But Morning Will Come!
I have promised.
