I
BELIEVE
As I sit
on the rocks by the ocean
I’m
filled with such
deep emotion
thinking about all the tears I
cried
and the moments I felt I
was dying inside
These times were more than I could stand
I keep telling myself to understand
that this pain is what the
devil planned
to bring me into deep
desperation
as well as frustration and
humiliation
I cry out to God for His helping hand
The sea hears my pitiful demand
The waves roar as they reach the sand
sending messages of my pain to
the Lord
The gentle breeze soothes my aching soul
giving me hopes of becoming
whole
The seagulls screech as they fly by
One drops a scroll from way up high
It lands on the sand right by my feet
I feel my heart increase its beat
as I pick it up and begin
to read it
My pain dissolves bit by bit
as the words penetrate my
being
‘Child, I heard the message of your soul
believe my words and I will make you whole
My only beloved Son died for you
proving that His love is true
You accepted Him as your Savior so long ago
You ran from Him which brought you woe
I led you to this place to heal your torment
and restore the time you
spent
running to all the wrong places
seeking answers from so many
faces
The ocean is one of My
prize creations
I made it to beautify many nations
but there is no ocean that
is more esteemed
than you my child who was
redeemed
by the blood of the lamb,
Jesus My Son
Once you come back to Him you will have won
over the troubling past that
enslaved you
Do you believe that what I told you is true?’
I rolled the scroll saying “Yes Lord, I believe You.”
