Abuse endured by another? Life is a roller coaster that never comes to a halt. Cycle of confusion spins so fast that contentment can never take root. It may not leave outward bruises and scars, but the inward “soul scarring” is a pain that doesn’t just go away with a Band-Aid and time.
Or is it a battle all your own? The war of inward struggles and pain from past choices. The guilt and torment of regret and sadness never lets up... a daily chokehold. You are surviving but you are far from living. Your day becomes about holding it together for the sake of hiding it from those around you, but inside you are far from okay.
Only the One who made us can restore us back to wholeness. In the midst of your raging storm, I pray you look to Him ~ where your release and your peace is found.
Peace
Crashing waves
Bruise my shore
Howling winds
Blow in once more
Torrential rains
Pelt my skin
Lightning bolts
Come again
Turbulent waters
Staggered stance
Cycle repeated
In this dying dance
Trembling knees
Strike the ground
Eyes glance up
To where help is found
An instant hush
The storm to cease
All at once
A soul at peace…
