With Grace, Love, I AM

With Grace, Love, I AM

A Poem by Erik Daniel
"

A letter from God. Sequel to "With Hate, Love, The Deceiver" so please read that one first!

"
Dear Child,

     I heard you curse me the other day. I just wanted to tell you that it breaks my heart to see you go through this. I am also aware that the devil has been deceiving you lately. I hope that you will find the truth for yourself.
     First of all child I do care about you. You are the most loved out of all of my creation; for even the hairs on your head are numbered. I sent my only son to die on the cross to save you and his death was not in vain. That cross that you took up to follow me is not dead and I am not another empty fleeting thing. Only I can fill that void inside of you, but you have to stop trying to do it yourself and let my spirit work in you.
     I know you don't feel beautiful. I see you when you stand in front of the mirror and hurl insults at yourself. I am that small voice inside you trying desperately to tell you that you are beautiful; for you are fearfully and wonderfully made in my image. Not outwardly, but inwardly. For I do not look at outward appearances.
     I've seen you struggle with your addiction. I've seen the way it eats at your soul and destroys your faith. I know you've tried your best to hide it, but nothing is hidden from me. Child I know that it has a tight grasp on you, but that grasp can be broken. Just simply let go and trust in me.
     I know that it seems like everyone is against you. I know that sometimes it may seem like I left you, but child I am never gone. I am always by your side. I see that the kids pick on you because you know me, but did they not also pick on me? If the world hates you know that it hated me before you. And remember that this world is only temporary; for heaven is your true home.
     And child I was with you in all of your struggles with suicide and cutting. And yes the devil was there also, but where sin abounds grace does much more! I was the voice fighting back against the devil. When he told you to pull the trigger, I reminded you how loved you really are. When he urged you to put that rope around your neck, I whispered in your ear and reminded you how valuable to me you are. When he had his hands on yours moving that blade over your flesh, I reminded you that you aren't alone. And child those cuts dealt more pain to me then they ever will you. For while the devil is trying to get you to leave this world, I'm reminding you that I'm not finished with you yet.
     Dear child, I am not dead. I am living on the inside and I am roaring like a lion. That love that you are looking for, I promise that you will find it when you fully surrender your life to me. You have a point. You have a purpose. And there is a reason for your existence. I wish that I could save you from all of this, but it would defeat the plans I have for you. See with me death will not be the end, but the beginning. I hope that this letter has spoken truth to you child. For you mean more to me than you will ever be able to comprehend.


With Grace, Love,
I AM

Once again, Please read With Hate Love The Deceiver first. I hope you all understand the importance of these 2 letters. For you must choose one side. I pray to God that it is the right one.

I've been using writing as an outlet for the stress and anger of life since I was a kid. More just freestyle or creative writing than anything. I let my feelings guide me more..
