How to overcome

When someone makes you feel so insecure what is the best thing to do? Hole yourself up inside and choke down the hurt. Then take the dirt that you have and fling it as far and wide as you can. However there are those times that life doesn't seem kind to you. Where you just want the world to shut out the noises within your spirit.

What do you do then? Where do you take yourself after so much desperation allowed another person to break you in two? Where is the trust you have to give back? Where is the understanding and acknowledgement of faults? Why do you feel as though you could have stopped the pain?

Oh then you just stand outside in the pouring rain, just to justify the tears streaming down your face. And in the darkest of moments, you realize that only you can choose to let these people hurt you. But then you scream at the sky and beg to know the truth. Yet, are you really ready for it?

As your shoulders hunch over and the night finds your icy bitterness, how do you stomp through the muck to get to dryness? How do you go forward when life seems impossible for that positive thought? Still you know that if you don't move correctly, no one will help you.

And then, still, there is the ache, the suffering that sinks within your mind. All this pity that quakes your very bones. Still there is one truth: God loves you. Some days that is the ONLY thing that keeps your head above the drowning point. Other days holding your breath long enough is not even the idea. The opening of your airways and just gulping water is more reliable than any good news.

Still you find yourself asking questions again. You start to seek to forgive of misunderstandings. You let go of situations that normally, in past, would cause rage to settle within heart. Finally the darkest of corners have minor cracks of light.

Then when you least expect someone, something uplifts and creates laughter within. In those silent breaks of smiles your mind begins to play all the goodness there was. Replays all the joy and searches for the love that was embraced.

And when you think you are beginning to fall off the high of happiness, you find that God gives you more of power, courage and love. Exploding all that would divide your heart and mind. Then the glimmers of love and hope would seek the spirit, bringing back the reality of an ache. You overcome because you choose. You choose to be free, to love and forgive.

Sure you will still have those midnight turmoil thoughts but the best thing is that prayer can open wide any infection and cleanse it with what can calm a storm. That is why just talking to Jehovah, God is a gift. That is why crying and pouring out all that is uncomfortable within your mind, weighing down your spirit and killing your heart helps you to unleash the worry, the anxiety and despair into Jehovah's hands.

See, maybe that moment when all is quiet, all those insecurities you have will fade. All those remarks from those who want to harm you, fails to burn you. See, then, the muck is just mud that can be washed off. The rain becomes the soothing element and the racing heart begins to calm.

That is HOW you overcome the noise that surrounds you. That is how you keep going forward. And that is why you choose to trust in Jehovah, God's truth. That is how you maintain freedom, explore love and have unyielding forgiveness. All because he has given you this.
