I almost remembered today
how it felt to be happy
how much joy was brought from love
that I was a good person
but just before I finally felt what is true
it sliped away
I almost rememberrrred tonight
why I told you good-bye
the peace i found in your arms
the words you whispered in your sleep
but the joy you once gave me was replaced with pain
I almost remembered here in the silence
what He has given me
the things He has done
for me
but my own selfish heart
replaced those feelings
with my own shelfish needs.


Isaiah 1:18
"Everyone loves a rose, will you be thankful for the thorns?"

You've written this so well, the pain reaches off the page. I've been in the spot of almost remembering too. Thinking of it is one thing, but to actually remember, seems to slip away before it really ever gets there.

"I almost remembered here in the silence
what He has given me
the things He has done
for me
but my own selfish heart
replaced those feelings
with my own shelfish needs."


I believe this is our biggest downfall. These words have really stuck to me this morning.

You've written a great piece, though I'm sorry for your pain. If but only you can look up and know that God feels your pain.
I pray it all gets better soon for you, and that you will once again remember how much it is He really loves you!

Sometimes, we really have to feel the pain before we can give it back to Him...why we do this to ourselves, I will never know, for the joy in the release is one of His greatest gifts...

Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound.
