[hometext] => This was not meant to offend anyone, I love God and I have faith in him, I'm just still grieving over Chris and needed to vent... I'm sorry
[bodytext] => They might call me crazy
For loving you after all you've done
But I can't help it baby
I really thought you were the one
The one for me
So I could breathe
And finally put that sorrow behind me
But I must have been wrong
Unless God's been the devil all along
Because right when I got you back
You were taken away
And almost everyday I feel I'm slipping away
Doesn't that sound like the devil's work?
Or maybe God and I just can't see eye to eye
On why he went and broke my heart
Then left me to cry
By taking the only one that I still loved
Now I don't mean to say that God ain't grand
Or that he doesn't really have a master plan
I just don't understand
That when I needed love the most
He went and took it from me
And now the only thing that keeps me strong
Is what's left over in my memory
I've never been one to hate
But my pain just keeps growing
Dearest God, if you love all your children
Then why are you doing this to me?
On top of all I've already suffered
You go and take what I need
Oh God tell me what I've done
Because by your book everything's right with you and me
What can I do to make you hear my cries
I already go to church and pray every night
Isn't there something you can do
To help me cope with all this pain you're putting me through
I'll do anything
Just stop everything
Or take me to my baby
You'd remember him
You took him from me in February
I don't know what I've done
To lose your giving grace
I've followed in your footsteps
Cared for everyone
Even those who've wronged me
But still I'm being punished
By our ever-loving God

I am moved by this. It is a truly honest and powerful expression of faith in trial and grief.
I haven't experienced this to such extent, but have hopefully learned a few things from what I have experienced. God's love does span a lot of grief and hardship, but, somehow, that is what makes it the greatest love, for it does bring us the farthest, make the most of us, possible.
We might need something very much on this earth, but that very act of needing can be something not for our best, because we might become attached to an earthly thing more than we should be. It's all to easy to do so, for me at least, and on a deeper level than just the conscious one. I could say again and again that my attachment to earthly things is less than my attachment to God, but if on a deeper level it is not, my words and perceptions are wrong. We don't know ourselves, really.
In my experience, God does not want our needs to be fulfilled in anything that is transient, and He won't give us what we want until we grow stronger than our need, and move beyond it.
But this is all too easy for me to say, for I am not the one with the loss. I hope you find peace and understanding. And I think it's alright to question God's grace when it seems He is persecuting you for no reason; I remember more than on Prophet doing so. Just accept His answer when He gives it.
I shall pray for you.

Penetrating poem- really digs into the mental realm. I know exactly where you're coming from.
Coincidentally, I have grieved over someone named Kris. May they res in peace.
Job 1:21 & Job 2:10
Peace |
