  • the bitter autumn rain

     

    [Walking out alone in the heavy autumn rain,
    letting my tears wash away my pain,
    my horrifying pain that I want it to go away.
    the rain n wind gets harder blowing me to the side
    knowing I am cracking and breaking inside.
    empty and alone, trying to hide.
    the rain is beating hard,
    as i feel the beat of my broken heart
    that is slowly falling apart.
    can i find solace in the rain
    taking away my pain.

    i see the reflection of me,
    in the broken pool of waters
    the tears i cry i can hardly see.
    my eyes are red,
    my hair blowing in the wind,
    the scars on my face, slowly are
    disappearing without a trace.

    walking around, there is nothing
    not even the smallest thing to make
    as I look down, staring at my feet.
    the feelings of self doubt,
    feelings of lost within a crowd.
    feeling empty and alone.
    trapped in this world.

    the wind blows through my hair,
    as the rain rushes down,
    making me feel free for a moment
    putting me at ease, at peace for now.

    as i start to breathe again....

    What has the autumn done to us?
    That endless wind, that heavy rain...

    My eyes with tears and bitter pain.
    It's over now, the autumn's game
    though it hurts a lot
    We could be happy, but we're not
    Why is life so cruel and sad?
    It's stolen happiness we've had

    when heartache appears in our lives
    we are forced to face bittersweet truths
    we are reminded that within each challenge
    there is always a higher offering
    although hidden from our view
    we must raise our thinking, open our hearts
    and recognize that we are being called to a new stage in life,
    a higher calling, a new dimension in life
    unfamiliarity can be frightening
    and new paths look uncertain.
    but what is life, if not a journey into the wondrous unknown?
    look around...grace and beauty can still be found within pain.
    the only lock,keeping us trapped or blind or stuck is fear.
    the only cage is the condition of our minds.

    Can we change the past?
    No. It’s as hard as granite, as immovable as a mountain.

    Cold Mountain Movie says,
    “You can grieve endlessly for the loss of time and damage done.
    For many things that happened.
    You can grieve on and on.
    You can grieve your heart out,
    And in the end, you’re still where you are.”
    All your grief has not change a thing.
    What you have lost will not be returned to you.
    It will always be lost.
    You are left with only scars.
    All you can choose to do is go on or not.
    But if you go on, it’s knowing you carry your scars with you.”

    Grief and bitterness can only keep you a prisoner of the past.
    What’s done is done.
    Regret cannot change what has already happened.
    No matter how many times we say “if only.”
    No matter how bitterly we blame and accuse.
    bitterness can only ruin us.
    We will become prisoners in our own dark souls,
    Suffocated by our own brooding thoughts.
    You reap your own thoughts
    Yes, we must learn to move on,

    No matter the past.

    We cannot change what has happened.
    We do have one power…we can trust God to redeem the past.
    If we let Him.
    God can use the evil of what has happened
    And transforms it into something good.

    Do right and don’t go against your conscience.
    Sometimes you doubt yourself.
    Have peace in your heart; hold on to the things you believe in.
    Put your trust in God
    For He’ll never leave you.
    He’s ever faithful, the One who created you.
    Don’t let others pull you down.
    Don’t let others talk you out of things.

    People may not understand you, but God understands.
    If you believe, you can touch the supernatural.
    You can see miracles in your life.
    It’s not easy to put the past behind.
    But look what the future holds for you.
    With God’s help, you can almost do anything
    Including overcoming your fears and pain.

    put God first, in the center of your life,that is His Kingdom and His righteousness first,

    and you have the pledged word of God, through the lips of His Son,

    that all these other things in life, shall be added unto you.

    "Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for the morrow shall

    worry about its own things

    sufficient for today is its own troubles."(Matthew 6:34)

    "so why do u worry about clothing? consider the lilies of the
    field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, and yet I say to you
    that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of
    these."(Matthew 6:28)

    You may think you must work very hard to provide for yourself n family n get ahead in life.

    But God wants u to consider the lilies of the field.

    They don't have to struggle; yet they're provided.

    same as the birds in the air.

    They simply rest in the provisions of God's love.

    That is what the children of God are supposed to do

    in the arms of their heavenly Father

    who will provide all the needs of His children.

    Just like our earthly father to his children...

    to provide for them, their food, clothing, their educations, their futures n securities.

    Our heavenly Father does the same.

    God wants u to be responsible n hard-working

    but not to struggle n strive for your every need.

    He wants you to rest in Him.

    to let go n let Him take care of all your needs

    if you only put Him first

    how much more He treasures u than the lilies

    how He long to clothe u with beauty n riches
