Sunday's Food For Thought: After the Rain - A Poem For The Brokenhearted

The rain fell hard, 

like diamonds from the sky

As if the clouds just needed

to have a really good cry

Standing there, 

gazing out my window

I released a deep sigh

As I marveled at the perfect work

of our Holy Creator, 

The Most High

Yet, in the background,

just a short distance

across town

I could see the sun still shining
through a rainbow,

As the loud rumble of thunder

began to calm down

While still standing there

looking out my window,

A revelation of spirit

came over me

What some might call 

a spiritual epiphany

Either way,

 it was a moment

of clarity

Where suddenly...I was able

to vividly see

How the same truth about

that storm of nature,

also applied to the situation

I was going through

So I wrote this poem

to show how it applies

to you too

You see,

after the storms in life

that leaves you feeling

deep pain...

After the tears you cry

that falls from your eyes

like heavy rain...

Know that the light and love

of God in you and around you,

is like a rainbow 

of peace and hope

that will always remain

I originally began writing this poem two years ago and was led in spirit to finish it tonight to share with you. It was inspired by a personal situation, I had been going through for awhile at the time I began writing it, that I am currently just on the other side of God bringing me out of. It took five years for God to finally free me fully of that situation. Yet, that duration of time had far less to do with God's ability to deliver me from it and much more to do with the fact that it took that long for me to finally surrender the situation to God and allow him to deliver me from it.

So I dedicate this poem to every woman, every person, every soul like me that has endured, or is currently enduring, the healing process of a deeply wounded and broken heart. That, also like the personal experience I went through that inspired this poem, has left you feeling like an emotional hurricane has ripped through your life leaving behind all its toxic, negative, pain-filled debris for you to pick up the shattered pieces of your heart and figure out how to rebuild and love again. What I want to share with you most that I have come to learn from my personal, first hand experience of such a life storm as this, is that:

Although is may be hard to feel or see it right now...God is with you...and so is his Love. With that said, I encourage you to do as I did. Let his love for you, that is a love like no other, be the solace that comforts you through the storm, the promise of your new beginning, and the certainty that if you trust him you will indeed heal...and love again.

Until next time...Remember to keep your heart open and your LOVE light on!!!
