because although these wounds cut deep, i know that they will heal in time. and even though my heart seems to break every time i breathe, i know that it will soon be pieced back together. and although i have built a castle wall as high as the sky around my heart, i am absolutely certain that he can break it down with just one finger. because he knows my heart better than anyone else, he touches the deep, sore spots, and calms my shaking body. he perfected every nerve, every cell, why wouldn't he be able to stop words from penetrating deep? he holds me close, and he really does fill the empty spaces. there is a new hope coming up over the horizon, and i trust that everything will be okay.
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
-Psalm 42:11

Beautiful Sarah,
Time is an illusion. A man made concept to put order to creation.
Everything is healed already if you will just accept. You know that the work of the cross is a finished work, however, WE have to daily submit ourselves with Him and crucify our flesh.
The pain comes from the fleshly struggle as we try to pull our nailed flesh from the wood and away from Christ.
As we focus on Him and His goodness, we become less self focused and our lives become victorious.
You are a warrior. A radical rebel for the Kingdom of God. A freedom fighter. Know your truth and then release your truth into the world.
ReleaseIsPeace.
That is one of the Psalms that stuck with me as I read through them. It's interesting the way the soul is referred to as seperate, but I think it's a rather good idea to step back and look at it, look at your emotions and all the wrappings that come with it strung along by life, and wonder why things have gotten so ridiculous . . . especially with God so near.
