I thought these scriptures kinda went with this poem that i made a few weeks ago..
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11
"Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye
should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you." John 15:16
Broken
Yet Still Loved
In
the time of darkness I am lost and I am afraid. I search and I
search, but I can't find my way. Time flies and I live my life,
trying to forget how I once was lost and still have not found a way
out of this darkness that I see every day. Nothing satisfies this
hunger, nor this thirst that I have inside of me. No food that I eat,
no beverage that I drink, can satisfy this throbbing pain inside that
makes me try to find a way out of this darkness so that I can see. I
scream with helpless terror, screaming for someone to help. Yet
nothing is able to be heard on the outside of me. No one sees this
pain. No one hears my cry. Instead, I let others see a growing garden
of roses, hoping that they will not see the dry land nor the flower
petals that have fallen and died.
I
want love, and friendship, but don't get too close; I don't want you
to see, the wrong that is inside of me.
What
is this? What is this love that I feel when I hear about His light?
His ray of sun that brings me much delight. Who is this that cares to
love this dying garden enough to suffer through the pain just to be
able to water it and give it life? He begins to trim off things that
have already died. I ask “Why would you care to focus on these
things which have death?” This man says nothing in reply, but comes
back every week to do the same. He sees my mistakes, yet He does not
run; but some how, instead, He fixes them. Oh how I love this man.
For He brought me out of my darkness and brought me back to life so I
can prosper and grow abundantly. Thank you Master, for taking time
and loving me.
