This was first posted on January 25, 2012. It was not a good time in my life. Thankfully the Father has redeemed and brought healing. Sometimes it's good to look back and see where we were and where we are now.
Papa! Papa! Where am I?
How did I get here? It's so dark. I can't see a thing!
I
remember walking along the path with my friends. Next thing I know I'm
waking up here in the dark. I think I remember the path passing near the
entrance of a cave. Is that where I am?
How do you feel?
Everything
hurts. I feel like I got hit by a truck. Now I remember. We were
walking along when I was hit by something. Who would have done something
like this?
An Enemy has done this.
Papa, it hurts so bad! I don't understand! I'm all alone here in the darkness and I feel like everyone has abandoned me!
You are not alone. Your most trusted long time companion is near, waiting for you. I am here.
How
did this happen? Everything seemed good. There was some loose rock on
the path at times, and there were some places where part of the path had
washed away. but I thought we had gotten past them. I thought this part
of the journey was going well. I thought we were together.
Papa?
I'm
broken. I feel like I can't move. I'm afraid to try because I can't see
and I don't know if it's safe. I don't know what to do!
Do you remember the time you spent in the desert learning to trust me rather than what you expected me to do?
Yes, I do. That was hard.
You still have more to learn.
Does it have to be so painful? I'd rather lose a job again than feel so hurt and rejected!
Papa, what do I do?
Stay
here for awhile. Don't move. I know it's dark and you're scared, but
I'm here with you. You are broken, but my love will heal you. You are
safe here. Learn again to trust me. No matter what.
When
the time comes, I will lead you out of this place, and you and the
person who truly loves you will continue on in your journey with me.
Papa, help me! I have no strength.
I know. I am your strength. I love you, son.
