Leisa...here is a poem....this lady that has had problems with "cutting" herself

wrote it...and she gave me permission to use it. I got chills the 1st time I read it....it can be used in any tuff situation someone may be experiencing....it caused me to think about when I was suffering from depression, Christ was there...He knew my pain and heartache. Praise God!

GOD KNOWS YOUR PAIN

Ohhhh God, I'm in a real bad place
I'm struggling just to seek Your face
Temptations' power has me in its' grip
And I feel like a failure every time I slip
With every fall comes tortured pain
As I slice & cut to feel whole again
And I wonder as I look to the stars
My body marked with wounds and scars
Where are You, God? Why can't You see;
Exactly what is happening to me?
But then I hear You gently say
My child, I haven't moved; it's you who walked away
I see the pain you're going through
And I know how hard life is for you
And as the tears fall from your eyes
I hold you close and wipe them dry
And with each scar that you attain
My child, it's Me who feels the most pain
I understand, my precious one
For this is something I have done
My body was bruised and wounded too
My nail-scarred hands were pierced for you
Your body is a temple - the place where I dwell
And I have the power to make you well
So look to Me for strength and endurance
For love, for hope and a calm assurance
And I promise that when you reach out to Me
Your life I'll renew, crowned with victory !!
