Forty Two

 


What has changed that my soul feels the need to be sorrowful? Home feels so far behind.
The water in my cup refuses to overflow. Perhaps it is the lack of running water.

I have not forgotten how to drink, I just refuse to admit i'm thirsty.

Even the lowliest of creature will follow the heard to the stream. But only he can choose to drink.

Broken chains lay cold as I reach to the sky. Finally feeling the dryness upon my tongue. I long for the everlasting drink. 

Amazing.

I am not refused. 

Knowing now that stubbornness is the friend of agony and destruction, I choose a less oppressing life. 
Rest easy my soul. You are no longer mine. 
Why should I fear the single most comforting thing I know? A child believes without reason. I would follow the youngest to water.

Simplicity is beautiful.

Why complicate life with tasks and worries which we can not fix ourselves?

You do not take your troubles to a child and ask for help. Instead take your worries and struggles and give them to the specialist. It would only make sense.

I walk away from the ignorant and thirsty people of this world. Some may follow out of curiosity as I go. I will show them where I find my fresh water, and pray they understand the importance of it's being. 

Psalm 42 is my inspiration.

  1. Awesome conclusion!

    Ephesians 3:14-20 And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God!

    Hebrews 10:33-39 We be not shrinkers, right?! :)

  2. I have always been a fan of Ephesians 3. One of my favorites out of the entire Bible.

    Thanks for the feedback :)
