THE LION OF JUDAH ROARS WHEN HIS CHILD CRIES
I was going through my stack of testimonies. Themes.
And prayer journals.
One moved me with deep emotion in my heart and eyes. And I remembered His care and love for me. I needed this comfort this morning.
I'm going through things inside myself.
I am reminded by His care through gentle leading to this theme I had written some time ago.
New and fresh to me today. Filling me with awe and tears. I feel Him so very near to me.
You may have read this before.
I edited it...I felt His Spirit upon me, as I wrote this out to you. In new wording, poured into me.
I am sharing it now.
Maybe you too, are going through some deep things. Maybe you will be touched in the knowledge and truth of His love and care for you today too.
I cried the whole time...I wrote this on here for you. And for me.
I Love You all, Kim

THE LION OF JUDAH ROARS WHEN HIS CHILD CRIES
_____
How can it be again Lord?
This life is so hard. It has so many hurts. All I want to do is know You better. To live loving others and being a blessing to my family. I fail at this too many times.
I feel so tired. So alone. I keep trying to press on and through. It's getting harder. I need You.
Sometimes, maybe even often lately...
Life feels like a rug pulled out from under me.
All the sudden I am on my face.
Crying. Needing. Hurting.
And feeling inadequate.
Everytime I think I got a hold on things...I don't.
I cry.
I get overwhelmed.
Life often gets overwhelming lately, with what it throws at me.
I get on my face and I cry to You.
I cry.
I'm sorry Lord. I'm trying to be strong and brave. My heart feels heavy.
My joy isn't what it used to be.
Please let me put my ear to Your chest, to hear Your heart beat for me again.
I need Your comfort.
I need You.
My soul is so tired.
Bless my soul Lord.
I need You.
I often feel discouraged lately.
So Alone in this world full of people.
I see the caos. And I only want to be with You in the the quiet and the stillness. Safe.
I want to feel better in my soul and mind and heart. And I need You for this.
Your way is what I want.
Your touch is what I desire.
I just want to be so near to You, that I can hear You breathing.
To feel Your assurances, joy, encouragement, saftey. Protection...
Sometimes, this world causes me to be afraid. In those times...I just want You to hold me.
I wipe my tears away. And stand.
Going outside, I see You.
I look for You in all the things I set my eyes on. The sky, the trees, the grass, the hills and mountains.
The air I breathe.
I can't help but to think of You.
I remember how You have created and placed the simple things into my life to give me joy. The simple pure things. And I am in awe.
I see the birds, the squirrel and rabbits. Deer in the field and their babies.
They are content in You. They know You.
Forgive me Abba.
When I do not praise You, The One Who satisfies the desires of all things.
Make me still in quietness and trust.
Yet my heart speaking Your perfect ways.
Oh Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the earth.
I Love our moments together.
I think of these and the depths of our times and who You are.
I am so moved by these thoughts.
You are bigger than my heart's thoughts.
I Love to sing softly to Your hearing.
I Love You so much.
I see Your ways in my life and my family's lives. Even when I have not petitioned You.
I see you and I remember.
I am always seeking You.
I can not forsake You.
I will not.
You are always on my mind and heart.
But I am on Yours, since before I was born and all my days and for eternity.
What kind of love is this?!
It's Love Alive for me. You are Love. And Your love is Life.
I think about how everything about me matters to You.
I want everything about You Lord.
You notice everything about me.
You Never miss one detail.
You consider all my ways in your perfect heart toward me.
I want and desire to never miss one detail about You. I want to notice the things of You. I always want to consider Your ways, over myself.
I am so sorry for all the times I have hurt you and broke Your heart in my life.
It makes me cry to think on my brokenness and willful unpleasant things I have done, said and even hurt Your Holy Spirit...
when my feelings and emotions are out of line in choices and circumstances.
It's so hard here in this world.
I need You.
I will be glad when I'm out of this broken world and into Your peace and rest forever.
Even in this broken world and this body...I see Your beauty shine through the pieces.
You bless the weak. Those who lose strength. YOU put them on Eagle Wings to fly high above.
Showing them your wonders above these storms we go through.
We become renewed.
You reach Your hand out for us to take, when we fall down.
And as we choose You. You gently pull us to Yourself and hide us under Your Pinions to keep us safe and give us rest.
You always hear our cries, even when we have words.
You know each moment when we need You. When we call out to You, You rush to us quickly. You stand in front of us. You roar at our adversities, to things that harm us and hurt. You roar at the source of our harms, hurts, pain, tears, silences, sadness.
You tell those things...
" STAY BACK! THIS CHILD IS MINE!"
When we cry out, You hear.
We have Your attention immediately.
When things of this world press in,
He arises to our needs.
To our pleas and petitions.
He arises and declares in a roaring voice..."My Child Has Need Of Me!"
Nothing gets in His way.
The things that invade, harm, afflict and trouble... flee, in 7 ways, at the sound of His voice.
Nothing gets in His way.
Help, Hope, Rescue...Love is on the way to us.
He heard you, the moment the cry impacted your heart and life.
Even before a sigh or word could be uttered and raised. Even before the tear drop went down your cheek.
He heard the depths, when you could not speak.
You can hear him say,
"I Am Here To Take Care of You."
You feel this Reality of Truth.
You are completely covered, comforted, and surrendered to this Amazing Love.
You close your eyes...
Yet...
You see.
He is picking you up in His arms.
Like a dad would a child.
He picks you up and holds you close.
Your sorrow turns to joy.
You are so comforted and safe.
You laugh in the fullness.
He smiles at you with delight.
And twirls you around in the air.
In a dance now...only you and He share.
He is faithful and good.
His promises last unto generation to generation.
He is Your everlasting love.
For you belong to Him.
You are His.
Love always, Kimberly Wenrich
