“I’m not who you think I am” – v5


So much a part of each of our stories,
standing before God, twisted, torn within us,
blurting out in pain, an accusation, angry,
a curse against God, finally spoken….
These words of clarity, of truth,
words spoken by God to each of us,
shattering our myths, our perceptions,
our limited understanding of God.
 
“I’m not who you think I am,
my child, my beloved;
I am not distant, stern,
I am not indifferent,
to your pain, your struggle;
I have never left you,
I never left Jesus, anyone;
I am right beside you now.”
 
These words of love, of mercy, seeking,
to cut through our pain, our anger,
to open our eyes to the truth
to the true nature of God.
The well of infinite love
with mercy, grace to heal us,
hope within God’s hands,
to bring us back to life.
