lately there’s been frequent bouts of sinking for me… pain that overwhelms, loss of hope, loneliness… all of which gnaw at me, tell me lies, and drown me back into that valley of death. Give up, is the rally cry of these bouts, die as you live…
how do i know this is not of God? look at me! falling into despair, hiding, feelings of all types of inferiority, no hope that pain will ever leave, and joy is no where to be found.
turn Donna, turn to your God! Remember? Back to death, face to life? This was the rally cry at the point of death… walking away from that lifeless body, walking away from painful memories, walking away from lies that lead to despair, and walking into adventure, risk, promise, hope and eventually joy!
So lately, there’s been numerous turning points for me; from turning away from these death bouts, to facing my God and truth and hope. Turning my face to life, brings truth… Turning my face to life, brings hope… Turning my face to life, brings joy… Turning my face to life, brings my God…
Yes, give up is the rally cry of death, yet then of life… give up the lies, give up the assumptions, give up the despairing thoughts, give up the hopelessness, give up the dejection, give up the striving… and hold tight the promise of God, the love of God, the hope of God, the truth of God, the plans of God… hold tight to your God, Donna, hold tight…
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered Psalm 68
