I lay on bed
Tossed from side to side
My heart mused over those words
I pondered why she was so inconsiderate.
And as the hours passed
As sleep eluded me
I thought and strategized how best to get even

Maybe a phone call
To communicate my displeasure and hurt.
To simply show that I am not foolish
But Your Spirit wouldn’t let me.
Instead You sent Your word…

“He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends.”
Proverbs 17:9 NKJV

I hear You Lord
Loud and clear
But my hurt won’t go away.
Alright
Maybe not a phone call
Maybe a face-to-face.
You have my promise
I’ll be mild, gentle, professional.
She must feel my pains
So there won’t be a second time.

But Your Spirit wouldn’t let me
Again You sent Your word…

“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
Proverbs 16:25 NKJV

I hear You Lord

But this is too hard; the path you’re prescribing for me to follow.

Oh Lord, maybe another harmless tactic;
A blog post, Like a sermon
From Your word
To intricately weave Your word into my hurt, pains and fears.

These are not my words,
They’re Yours Lord.

Or please let me get a contributing author to do a blog post
We’ll publish to reach her
She needs help
Your word would liberate us both.

But Your Spirit wouldn’t let me
Instead You tell me it’s ‘self, self, self’
And again You sent Your word…..

“Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.”
Proverbs 16:24 NKJV

Again, I hear You Lord,

My words must heal, soothe and bind wounds.
My words must bring sweetness and healing to feeble bones.

That’s the way You want it.
That’s the way I’d grow.

I give up
I put a smile on my face
And my heart lighten up

Indeed Lord
Your way is perfect
Your wisdom unsearchable.
Glory and honor is Yours forevermore.
You liberate me by Your Spirit
You move me a rung higher in my love walk.
Thank You Lord.
