Poetry

Life hasn't bee easy.
But the Lord has dealt kindly with me.
Far better than I deserve.

I walked through the valley.
Desires pulling at my flesh.
Nagging until I gave in.
Lust. Betrayal. Lies.
Empty.

I walked through the valley.
Thoughts filling my head.
Filling me with self doubt.
Ugly. Loud. Unwanted.
Lonely.

I walked through the valley.
Pride decaying my bones.
Breaking me under it's weight.
Consumed. Pressured. Controlled.
Sinking.

I walked through the valley.
Sickness overtaking my body.
Somedays a struggle to move.
Fear. Confusion. Fragile.
Broken.

But He wasn't finished with me.
He kept me alive.
He saved me from the snares of death.
He kept me alive so I could die again.
A death of glory and joy. A death of freedom.
He brought me through the valley.
To see Him in His glory. His majesty. His power.

Life hasn't been easy.
But the Lord has dealt kindly with me.
Far better than I deserve.
