all i know is that since i've met 'them'. my heart is so full. my cup is overflowing. and we are one. it's as if i've waited my whole life to know 'them' and glorify 'HIM'. together it is WE.
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. ecclesiastes 4:12
and we all have healing to do. all of us. the good news is that He is in the business of healing our depravity.
this morning i was reading john 8. a woman was caught in adultery and the religious leaders brought her to Jesus, saying, "the law of moses commanded us to stone such women. what do you say?"
and jesus bent down and wrote in the dirt with his finger. and he said "let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her". and they went away one by one.
i just see jesus drawing a line in the dirt.
and even the religious leaders can't separate themselves from her. we are one in the same, friends.
my friend wrote these lyrics. and, my oh my, they just captured my heart. i want to share them with you.
"She has long curly hair that exceeds her back, She has Piercing eyes that set ur soul on fire, She has skin so soft to touch its like milk. She has a face like an angel, She stands tall and always holds her ground BUT WHAT U DO NOT SEE IS... She is SCREAMING FROM THE INSIDE OUT, SHE IS DIEING FROM THE UNWANTED HANDS THAT LAY ON HER EVERY NIGHT, SHE CRIES HERSELF TO SLEEP WHILE SHE LAYS IN THE DARKNESS WANTING TO DIE, SHE CLAIMS HELP WILL NEVER COME, SHE CLAIMS THE WORLD WILL REPEATEDLY RAPE HER OVER AND OVER, SHE WALKS AROUND AS IF NOTHING IS HAPPENING, SHE WALKS AROUND AS IF SHE IS OKAY..SHES BEAUTIFUL AND MESMERIZING TO LOOK AT. BUT DO U SEE WHAT I SEE? SHES BROKEN SHES SCREAMS WITH EVERY INCH OF HER BODY? SHE SENDS SIGNALS OF WANTING TO BE HELPED. SHE LOOKS AT YOU IN SUCH A WAY UR HEART BLEEDS FOR HERS..WILL U HELP HER OR WILL YOU RAPE HER OVER AND OVER? "
will you help her?
wow. absolutely beautiful. I love you and this. Thanks so much for sharing. So true.
