He Gave Me Life

He Gave Me Life

Sorrow, misery, hurt and despair

Is this all that life has to offer?

Dead ends, rejection and doors slammed in my face

Again and again, never-ending.

Feeling lost and alone in this dark, dark world

No one to turn to, just me, myself and I.

My only comfort… A bottle of vodka, a slit of the wrist

Slipping into a temporary bliss.

Lying alone, slowly dying, life has no more worth, no meaning

I beg for death to take me, I’m waiting…

Why am I still here? What purpose do I serve?

I am at the end of my tether

Lost, alone with no faith left to stop me from drowning

The light is going out in my eyes, dim like my outlook on life…

I get on my knees, my hands clasped together, my last prayer to something, anything

Help me please?

Tears run down my face, wrists bleeding down my arms, heart beating with despair and longing

Help me Lord, please help me, I need You. Where are You?

All of a sudden like a rushing wind, I’m filled, filled with overwhelming love and hope,

I no longer hurt, my tears flow, but with grateful thanks

He is all-powerful, almighty and all-loving

He watches over me and picks me up when I fall

He has my whole life planned out, every little bit

Without Him, I am literally nothing.

He taught me how to love by loving me

He taught me forgiveness by forgiving all my wrongs

He taught me mercy by having mercy upon me

He taught me that I am worthy because He took the time to create me.

I am so filled, so filled with overwhelming gratitude.

I am not, nor ever will I be alone.

And neither are you 🙏🏾
