During my stay...

It has been months since I entered Babylon.  For weeks, I have walked the streets reminiscing.  Anticipating the date when things would be effortless.   In my waiting, sorrow has become an ally.  I admit that at times my heartbreak has led to resentment, anger and unhappiness.  Repentance and confession, have become a daily practice; 1John 1:9.  Yet, continually I pray for justice, for vindication.
 
The waiting has revealed my illness.   That which was private is now exposed. I am the woman  who has exhausted her resources looking to be comforted.  It feels hopeless.  Suddenly, I heard the crowd.  He was coming!  I said to myself; “I will run, maybe I can touch him.” I searched  looking for the one who had the power to heal.  The one who could see beyond my anguish.  Suddenly I was in his presence.  “Lord look; Do you see my wounds?”  I pleaded:  “Have mercy on me”... He heard me... Mark 5:24-34

I still remember my ruins.  I have not seen justice.  When I find fresh wounds, I continue to run to him.  When in his presence, He extends healing.  I love Him.  I trust Him.  For the one who is dear to me has a plan.  He does not think like I do.  He will not do like I want.  His ways are better.  I praise him!! When his final work is accomplished, I will continue to praise him! And everyone who sees his undertaking will glorify him!!!  The one seated on the throne.  The only true God...
