I Just Can't Give it Up!
I paid such a high price,
In sacrifice, to gain...!
That I just can't give up!
For, that would cause me more pain!
🤔 Thinking ...Can this be something that the Savior feels about each of us?
On a Scale of 1-10.... a 10!
The most brilliant mind
Cannot imagine enough
The worst pain you could find!
For, in reality, it's TOUGH!
The weight of the entirety
Fully sinks in ...
To explain the reality,
One cannot begin!
You can read about and interview others, but you have to feel the weight of the entirety of the pain to understand the reality of it all. Then, there are no words that can describe the pain to another! Also, when the pain is over it is hard to "feel" it again. Otherwise, women would be terrified to go through labor pains again! I remember panicking, when I went into labor with my second baby because it was then that I started to remember the pain- all to familiar! And then, afterwards, as a nursing mother- you cannot forget your baby for when they are in need of nutrients, you fully respond to that cry of need. Finally, there's adoption- the loving sacrifice of giving up a child so they can be raised with all their needs met. Sigh.
The Volunteer of the Year and of All Time!
Yes YOU, the volunteer,
Will have to do this all alone.
Clean up other's messes.
The extent of which is unknown.
Nonetheless the Thankless Job- (lack of recognition with high demands)
Some may think to thank you.
Others will care less.
You will be tested, too!
DO IT, nonetheless!
Not a Nameless Pain
You've put a name to pain!
And somehow this helps?
You are not just insane,
Or off by yourself!
Your unique pain is known,
By somebody else!
And you don't feel alone!
Even... as your life pales!
Jesus can put a name to your pain! Spasms, throbbing, cutting, stinging, frightful, unbearable, crushing, radiating, stabbing, searing, splitting, burning, blinding, shooting, penetrating, nauseating, smarting, spreading, torturing, etc.
And then there is emotional pain
stages of grief,
anxiety, fear, worry, numbness, post traumatic disorder
depression, sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness, isolation
shame, guilt, failures, self-criticism, self-loathing
loneliness, rejection, abandonment
anger, frustration, jealousy, obsession
The Why
He was not in it for praise
Pleasure, power, or fame.
It was not for attention.
Seriously, it was not a game!
In a me society,
We think, "Who benefits?"
We scale "Probability?"
And, place labels where it fits...
But, for all eternity
His why was out of obedience,
Necessity, and perfect love.
He knew, He alone could atone
For our return, to God, above
Jesus had so many reasons
Much too infinite to count
He saw each of us, in all our seasons
And suffered the exact amount
Magnitude
The magnitude...
Pressed with full weight
It was bitter, too
Much too vile to rate
Birth - Rebirth
