I haven't screamed this hard since that sunrise.
May this wound never ever leave me.
I will suffer with them.
I will suffer for them.
This is my holy discontent.
I only write what I feel.
And I only write when I feel.
Sometimes, I forget to feel.
Such is the point of pain.
It re-enters me into those places that I have been before and reminds me of everything I have seen and learned, lest I forget.
I've been reading a bit of Daniel these days, and this has been a great comfort to me today:
19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said:
"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.
21 He changes times and seasons;
he sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king."
Daniel 2:19-23
You have made known to us the things of Empire, so that we in turn, can use them to bring the Kingdom.
We must live in this for a time, and we must work in our waiting.
You have granted us all that we need, so may we live in a constant and expectant faith to do what You ask.
47 The king said to Daniel, "Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery."
Even Empire will eventually bow to Truth.
Hallelujah, You make ALL things new.
