string(10) "expression"
The dust
The sand
My tears turning it into chalky streaks on my skin
This pain is too much
And then I see Him
I look down to avoid His stare
My knees are on the ground
Sore
Scraped
Bleeding
I have no strength to get up
I’m shaky
I try to get it together
I clear my hair and tears from my eyes
And then I see Him again
I keep crying
And I look back down
I feel so unworthy
He won’t want me
He won’t help me
Isn’t He angry with me?
Disappointed?
I’ve failed Him
in a thousand ways
But then I see Him
I don’t have it in me to go to Him
So He’s coming for me
He kneels down beside me
He lifts my head
His eyes are kind
He gently smiles
He is comfort
He is peace
He accepts me as His
He calls me daughter
I don’t have to earn that
I don’t have to do anything
I just have to accept His love
That’s all He wants
That’s all He’s ever wanted
Nothing more
Nothing can ever separate me
From His love
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39
