The need to be healed: Inner Healing

I just think that this is so powerful.

Words from the author:

From my own encounter with Christ I have been able receive emotional healing from bitterness and unforgiveness. I believe that being able to forgive and release persons who have wronged you enables you to receive that peace that passes all understanding and healing that seals up the emotional scars that you may have received along the way.

LISTEN NOW, MY PEOPLE, AND COME TO ME; COME TO ME AND YOU WILL HAVE LIFE! Isaiah 55:3a


Inner Healing

My father?
Extinct,
Such species are rare
Endangered perhaps,
Who cares?

Forgiveness!
Him?
That commodity is too precious to waste on him
So, I carry this burden until…

My heart

Given, hoping to receive love
Reward, fragments and pieces
The source of the destruction did not care!
The walls went up
I withdrew
My wounds stay hidden
This will never happen again
So I carry this burden until…

People?

You can’t trust them as far you can throw them
They expect this impossible perfection from you
Yet they are the worst sort when it comes to failure
You’re never good enough
Don’t please them,
They’ll reject you
Turn their backs

People…(sigh)

Anger, I let it build
It turns me on, makes me feel better
Hate, I love it
To all the ones who hurt me
You’re killed in my thoughts, die!
Resentment, makes coping so much better
Bitterness is bliss

LIES!

I am torn
Tattered
Tormented inside
Inside me is a grave yard
A field of death and sorrows
Covered up by my smiles
Laughs, success and “love” for people
I want to scream and tear my eyes out
And now…

I have been carrying these burdens for so long Jesus
They are just too heavy
I am tired of hiding and covering up my pain
The band aides have failed
My emotional shields and walls make it worst
Jesus, I open up my heart now
I don’t want to run anymore
Jesus, I lay it all down before you!
Jesus, I forgive the ones who hurt me
I release them!
The unwanted baggage
The loads, the burdens
Give me life that I can truly live
Give me hope that I may look forward

Give me love.

Jesus, thank you.

JESUS!

Are You in the centre?:Centre of Your Will

This insight is very comforting.

Words from the author:

Tryin to live a romans 8:28 thought-life with a jeremiah 29:11 foundation. =)

I ALONE KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU, PLANS TO BRING YOU PROSPERITY AND NOT DISASTER, PLANS TO BRING ABOUT THE FUTURE YOU HOPE FOR. Jeremiah 29:11


Centre of Your Will

Each laboured breath loses its burden when hushed in the centre of Your will
All busy hands trying to make their own way cease in the centre of Your will
As i fight and fight, energy being pulled from my core, in the gut of my heart i rest assured
there's no better place to rest my soul, than in the centre of Your will

When we meet face to Face, i see behind the tears, that scar my fragile eyes,
that You know my inmost being, all the secrets i try to hide
You grab me by my shaking hands, You ease my restless mind
You whisper "Child be still. Come into the centre of My will".

Love does not envy when buried in the centre of Your will.
It rejoices in Your wisdom-induced pain, believing there is much to gain, when caused through the centre of Your will
It walks away and says goodbye, weeping endures a summer of nights; it offers its love to
stay at Your side, trusting the inevitable joy joined with some distant near-morning's light
when invests its faith in the centre of Your will


When we meet face to Face, i see behind the tears, that scrape my fragile eyes,
that You know my inmost being, all the pain i try to hide
You grab me by my shaking hands, You ease my restless mind
You whisper "Child be still. Delight in the centre of My will".


As separated as i feel, i won't quit until Your heart is revealed
The depth and secrecy of the womb could not withold my blueprints from You
You give me the ability to question and fight, to harbour frustration at will
Yet i relinquish that right, I surrender to the woe that springs peace,
i long to be dear Lord, at the centre of Your will


When we meet face to Face, i see behind the tears, that soothe my fragile eyes,
that You know my inmost being, all the doubt i try to hide
You grab me by my shaking hands, You ease my restless mind
You whisper "Child be still. You're in the centre of my will".
