"This is what the soverein Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again" Ezekial 37:6
There have been many times in my life where I have felt dead and empty inside. I struggled with severe social anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and low self- esteem issues. My self esteem issues caused me to become involved in relationships that were toxic and continually fueled my feelings of axiety, drepression and suicidal thoughts. God has drawn me closer to him through my struggles and feelings of depression.
Sunday, I read the above bible verse. It reminded me that God does not want us to feel guilt for our stuggles. God knows all of the pain that we feel, and he wants us to draw near to him through the pain, so that he can breathe life into us, during our dark momments.
In the following poem God is speaking to the broken. I wrote the following poem as a reminder that if you are feeling alone or empty you do not have to struggle alone .God is watching over you in your painful situation, waiting for you to turn to him.
Breathe of Life
Overlooking
I watch her
Dry bones in a valley
Dull leaflets,
the only indicator of
life once present
Alone she stands
Firmly planted
Outstretched fingertips
Cold, bare
All limbs
Reaching for something....
In her bareness
I see her beauty
Beauty, that was once brilliant
Bare bones are all thats left
Fingertips reaching for something
For what?
She is uncertain
Perhaps some plethera of paintings
Some illusion her beauty that was once there
I want to whisper to her bones
Fall into my arms
and i will breathe life into you again
