"The words you should have left unsaid
And ones you wish you’d said instead,"

I think we all know these moments. But like you wrote, we confess, God forgives, and our accuser has lost his power.

Thanks for your encouraging poem.
I love this beautiful devotional poem and say a huge Amen to all the thoughts you express so eloquently. Where do I start with favourite lines? -perhaps this...
God’s loved you from the very start.
He holds you ever in His heart.
What a miracle! Many thanks.
I literally have tears streaming down my face. If not one other person is blessed by these words, (which will not happen) you have done your job. Every word you wrote, you wrote for me. I've been lost and felt alone like no one understands me for weeks. You've reminded me that not once have I been alone or misunderstood. I had to stop writing because I started sobbing. I know God's hand is in all of this and I thank him, but I want to thank you too. God may have given you the words, but he gave them to you because he knew you would be obedient and turn them into something beautiful. I need to copy this onto my mirror so I can read it every day. Thank you. I wish you could feel the weight you've taken off my heart. I'm sending it to my sister too. It is beautiful, powerful, and spot on the genre. Boy have you inspired me! Hugs
I fin this very engaging and very readable. Certainly lines that all can relate to and find inspiration. Nicely done.

You're right. I'm not alone - in being blessed by this entry. Well done, for this is up there in the Helen Steiner Rice league.
Every blessing to you and through you.

I think we all feel alone sometimes and that's when God shows us He's still here! I think the line I like the most is the first one where He knows when we've been misunderstood. Nice poem, LaVonne

Oh, this was beautiful! It reads like a psalm to me. Very touching and encouraging to me today.
Congratulations on ranking 12 overall! Happy Dance! I'm so excited for the plans for this piece. I'm happy dancing like crazy!
