Way Back When{sday} :: But the Waves 01/20/2010

What have I left

But the waves

of doubt

of guilt

of remorse

How fitting now

Since you left

so coldly

so unmistakably

so readily

I'm alone again

Without you

without a will

without a friend

But the waves

the waves call to me

the waves reach for me

the waves cover me

and carry me home

I wrote that four years ago.

Most days, the pain is mercifully kept at bay.
We have such a loving Father, to heal us that way.
Sexual, emotional, physical, mental, verbal--abuse tears at the spirit.
Broken to bits over the years and miraculously put together again.
Once, I found peace in the fact that I wouldn't live forever.
Now my peace lies in the eternal life given me in Christ.

Way back when my heart was breaking, it wasn't my life I considered taking.
God had a plan for me, way back when the world began, that He's fulfilling.
God has a plan for you, and He can fill you, too!

Don't take my word for it; take His!

"In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God's own people, to the praise of his glory"
(Ephesians 1:11-14 NRSV).
