Have you ever felt like this?

Deborah-Leigh:
May I describe the walls around us and the mis-treatment we suffer? Will this not break Your Heart and cause You to storm the walls of our imprisonment? This is not Your Kingdom and You shall not be caused by our suffering to come and rescue us from the confinement that we suffer. It is You who have caused us to endure this persecution. It is Your Spirit that has given us just enough food to stay alive.

Like in the physical jails, the food is bare enough to only keep the person confined in physical dependence on the next meal and the next food source to continue psychologically to exist. You keep the feet shod and the clothes un-torn as You keep the person walking in that ever widening circle around that same old mountain eleven kilometers from the milk and honey.

You did it once and You will not change. We have joined in the exodus from earth and the worlds system of bling and errors. Yes You have marked our path and You have designed our Faith and You have set the journey of our souls through the confines of emotional imprisonment to feelings we do not want, and memories that do not sweeten.
You are with us in Spirit inside our emotions and consciousness. You offer the continuity of our journey that shall end to the Glory of Your Name and esteem of Your Wisdom. We do not see it now but only for the peripheral hope that is unsupported by any durable anchor in our lives.  We know that happiness today can disappear tomorrow. We know You can do Anything! We know You can set us free but You will not do this until our Faith is sufficient. You are the author and finisher of our faith.

You have told us that to lift our suffering is to compromise Your work to bring us to enjoy the reward and joy You have set aside for us. We care not to be the highest or most worthy in Your Kingdom. We shall enjoy the love of those who You have given to endure such trials and tribulations. I care not to stand equal or even glorified among Your Chosen. The pain is too much. Just to be last in Your Kingdom is okay by me.

You have paid the price for our reward. In this I shall rest knowing that You will not change and that we shall be made, by You, to receive that gift of joy that You shall assure us of being worthy to receive before all of your Heavenly Host and before Your Father God. I do not want to have to have a share in Your sufferings and this You know and empathize towards my horror of the agony that is engineered to become acquainted with. How else can we know Your suffering and share in Your reward if we only see what You endured and went through from a remote place of observation without impact. It is like seeing the birth of a child in two dimensional black and white soundless film footage that cancels out all the gory details. Oh now I know Lord, what You have caused me to endure. You are causing us to get through the pain and suffering with the very minimum of help so as to heighten the presence of the Faith that You are causing to be accentuated within us. You will not rob us of our reward. You cause our inheritance to be secured for us and You help us to obtain it knowing full well that our bitterness is deepened as acid cutting through the marrow and the bone of our hearts and souls as our cries for help reach into Your Heart and Soul. It is You who are there beyond the pain and the agony. It is You who prepare us to be born into Your arms of Peace and Love. It is You who parent the child. It is You who are our Creator who shall be there to smile into our hurts the healing that we require, and the Love that we need to feel, is real. It is You that is anchoring our perceptions to Your Life and Your experiences that You brought into the world to show us how to suffer and how to go through the agony into the Glorious Light of Your Spirit.

It is You who are past the veil of carnage and blood and ambitions of flesh and mind bent intentions of greed and poverty of spirit. You who are bringing in the endurance to the test, the nourishment to continue against all the odds and the Spirit of Victory that You have won. You have opened the door that no man shall shut. You have opened the Way that no person can avoid once You have taken hold of their soul. You Lord. To You I commend my soul.

Just when I am feeling oppressed, depressed and down trodden I am lifted up by my brothers and sisters even when they don't know it. Thanks Arc for the post and Longhorn for the smiles.

--- End quote ---


We have been taught that to know and understand "hot" we need to have experienced "cold" etc.  To give us true understand and knowledge implies that we need to experience opposites in order to truly know .  Your above quote is so true Arc......how else can we know His suffering unless we suffer ourselves.  And having the hope that with our suffering, through trials and tribulations, that we have that reward.....Jesus Christ.

Life was never meant to be a rose garden, I know that now and I am grateful for that because every bad, hurtfull thing I have to go through has its rewards.  Nothing is ever in vain.  Everything have been preordained and predestined since before the beginning.............everything has it's purpose.

Ninny:
