The Two Messengers

God has done much, within my own life. No I was not spared pain, or torment or trials, but through each thing, and He would use these for His glory in repairing my heart, mind and soul.

For I used to dwell in the darkness

and did not mind it.

I would hide many a thing,

within in it.

And I never minded it, really

as it would hide me very well

on occasions.

Yet in the end, I was awaken

before it totally consumed my heart

and soul.

See, I did not think, much of myself.

So darkness was something

I believed was the only thing I would ever

be accepted in.

For many were my sins, or so my dad 

would say, that God would never

take notice of someone as foul as I was 

and am to an extent, even today.

And as I tried to keep the darkness near, 

His shining light came shining through

and He sent not one but two,

whom He used as His messengers to

my broken self.

I fought to accept and believe what they'd say

going back and forth, knowing that 

it was a lie, or it must be!

Yet they managed to break through, and saw my pit,

full of hatred, rage and much anger.

And they took my tormentors away.

As I came forth through the ashes of my former self

Vulnerable I was, and so felt, that in shame

I tried seeking the comfort in darkness once again,

but alas, it had gone once He came.

And He took me by the hand and showed me around

and told me how my tormentors had lied.

And so He gave me His book, and told me to read

and that He would continue working within my dirty gates,

until nothing was a miss, and made sure my heart

remain of flesh, to never turn stone again.

And here I am, all because of Him and the two

messengers He sent to prepare the way.

I am still not perfect, nor am I holier than any,

for daily I sin, in thought or word.

Yet I strive to do good and show love

to those, that are hard to love, for just as they

I was also.

Through the pain barrier comes strength and lessons to use forever. In the moment we ask what we have done to deserve this but a reason or some sort of clarity presents itself eventually. Also, what choice do we have. An enjoyable read for sure. Well done

I have no words. God is great.

[Carol Cashes]

Just like parents love their children, so does He, yet, even knowing he's our Father, we find it so hard to believe that his love surpassed even a parent's love. Well done.
