Lamentation.
Jesus… Why?
Why have you left me? I cried out to Him.
I see the pieces of my heart shattered and scattered.
I wonder why He’s so hard on me.
Why he makes it a point to discipline when I stray a hair off course.
Why can’t you heal this sickness?
Tear away this bitterness. And these insecurities.
Why do I have to pay for the poor behavior of others?
Why am I the one who seems to lose. Every. Damn. Time.
And I rage.
And I grieve. And I scream. And I fall to my knees.
And beg him to see me. And be beside me.
There is no one in this life for me…
Why can’t I shake this narrative.
Why can’t I lean into the beauty that is found in myself and who He is?
I can… I have. And I will.
I shout out from beneath the rubble of heartache and anguish.
He looks right into my eyes and simply says: trust me.
