Hopeful Pain

The world is so loud.

No silence to be found.

We suffer in silence,

with no hope or guidance.

The pillow catches our tears,

making sure nobody hears.

We provide our mask of smiles,

so nobody judges our trials.

We are so tired and worn;

wondering why we were even born.

Our life seems filled with endless pain.

Instead of rainbows, we get constant rain.

BUT THEN...

God revealed Himself to me.

But surely, this couldn't be.

He says He is three in one.

God the Father, Holy Spirit, and Son.

I found a Bible to learn more.

My heart suddenly felt sore.

Confused on how I was supposed to feel.

If He is true, could He help me heal?

I began to yell at Him with anger,

for He didn't protect me from danger.

God did not get mad at me.

He understood and desired to set me free.

As I read the Word of God and prayed,

I felt less and less betrayed.

The promises He had made,

helped my pain begin to fade.

He's the One that gave me life.

He has a plan for all my strife.

God did not makes things in life hurt.

It's peoples actions that make us feel like dirt.

He helped me see hope and give me reason to live.

Most of all, He helps me to forgive.

I no longer mask a smile.

My pillow has been dry for a while.

That doesn't mean my life is perfect now.

It means God will work it all out somehow.

I'm no longer alone. Christ is with me.

I strive to grow in my life spiritually.

Lord, thank You for loving me; even when I'm a mess.

I know I've sinned a lot, I do confess.

But You sent Jesus to die on a cross.

My sins are forgiven and I'm no longer lost.

I love You and I thank You,

for Your promises being true.

I don't know where I'd be today.

Without You, I'd never feel truly okay.

God, please help others look up to You.

Healing doesn't just come out of the blue.

We all strive for safety and love.

There's no better place than looking up above.
