In my weakness
you were there
awaiting my cries
anticipating my surrender
accepting me with open arms
my soul’s desolation
the gateway to my salvation
when I fell to my knees
you lifted me up
into your love

Spiritual unrest
the disease of the soul
can not be healed
through worldy ideas
or worldly ways
that which makes you sick
cannot heal you of itself
you must go deeper
there is a solution for your despair
a promise of hope
peace and comfort
but you must first surrender
your pride
your fears
and your personal desires
to the Healer of souls
the Creator of souls
the God of love
who has sacrificed His love for you

Once you glimpse eternity
you cannot go back
to who you previously
imagined yourself to be
no amount of denial or delusion
can break that invisible bond
resistance
leads only to suffering
let go
and surrender
to the spiritual inevitability
of the eternity inside you
die to your old self
and be reborn in God

This may not be your fight.
You may be called to something deeper.
Your purpose may be elsewhere.
Listen to what your heart is quietly saying to you.
Feel where it is gently pulling you.
Follow the light and the lightness.
Do not allow yourself to get lost in the darkness of battles that cannot be won.
NOT YOUR FIGHT
