Almost daily, I am reminded of choices I made in the past. I often cringe when they jump into my mind and I have to close my eyes and ask God to take them away. Some of the flashbacks are so difficult to remember that I find myself disgusted and unworthy.
Today, I was reminded about a love that covers all of those bad choices.
The words I read brought me so much peace and comfort as they reminded me of the place I found myself in when I was running away from the very thing that could save me.
My wayward feet, my disassociated mind, and my shattered heart isolated me from the only love that could heal me.
I was not asking for healing, yet it was seeking me.
I was not calling out for anyone, yet I heard “Here I am.”
Hands full of love, peace, and comfort were reaching out for me all day long as I ran the other way, until the day I stopped running.
My ears miraculously opened and heard Your voice that was whispering my name, beckoning me to rest.
Instantly, when I stopped running and fell into Your arms, I felt like I was being lifted up and carried. Resting there, my feet were secure, my mind was clear, and my heart mended. Every shattered piece of my heart was smooth and connected to Your heart.
The flashbacks still creep in almost daily but they don’t win.
Love does.
