Poetic Psychology

1 Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

Sometimes…

I go dark

For a little while

I get tired of trying

I get tired of fighting

I get tired of the lying

The whining

The hurting

The stealing

The feeling

And I give in to my flesh

I give in to the hiding

And isolating

Myself

From the pushing

And the pulling

From the weight of my calling

Because

Sometimes…

It’s hard

Because sometimes…

I forget

What Jesus of Nazareth said

About HIS burden

And HIS yoke

Until He reminds me again

That it really is

Easy

and

Light

And I lift up my head

And I reach out my hand

So that He can pull me out

Of the darkness again

And into His marvelous light…
