Whispers Of The Heart

Hope in the Hurt

We are not alone, there is hope, there is comfort and restoration.. Jesus takes broken hearts and makes us whole. I give Him all my hurts and He holds me together and gives me His breath to breathe, His life to live..He gives me hope in the sorrow, a peace in the storm. He is always with me, within Me to carry me home...

He will rescue in ways we cannot plan.. trust Him

He always hears our cry and feels our tears
~ The Hope Of Life ~
Hope rests quiet, it's sweetest tune
plays on and on down
in my soul, 
fluttering, waiting to take wing,
a window open, a shaft of light,
hope, and life is whole.
Oh!
A blast of wind, the window breaks,
 light flickers, sighs.. so quickly dies,
the song is gone, 
time goes cold,
hope is stolen, all is lost,
why live on.
Motionless I move, watching life without,
play loud
it's endless croon.
Hope betrayed, a laughing, mocking tune,
of hate. There is no form,
life consists of hurt and pain.
But then, somewhere... a whisper,
calling soft,  my name,
Open arms reach out, I see a loving face,
calling entreating, 
gently from another place.
I feel a stirring deep within,
Can it be? Could love begin,the light of life, 
a miracle, unfolding,
encircling my heart.
God's gentle love the wing,
the tune, the hope of life,
a song I now can sing.

He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. (Psalm 147:3) 
For He wounds, but He also binds up; He injures, but His hands also heal. (Job 15:18) The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18)
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, for the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. (Isaiah 61:1)
We know how weak we are and how big He is
This is my sisterinlaw's brother
Former construction worker Rhett Brown is the embodiment of courage and determination.
His life was changed when paralyzed by a tragic accident,
but he's using his experience to help and inspire others.

~ Why Are You Weeping? ~
The longest nights of weeping,
for the hurt that's in my heart,
When I cry alone in pain,
trapped forever in the dark.
No relief of deepest sorrow,
Oh God, please set me free,
I feel so overwhelmed, what future is for me.
I am bitter, I am wounded,
I am angry and attacked,
I am weak for life is cruel,
Can't You turn the clock right back.
Back when life was happy,
When the sun shone down on me,
before this fierce storm, Hit me violently.
O Father, why permit, such angry whip to lash? Where were You when it struck
as my heart was deeply gashed?
You could have stopped it Lord,
why allow such awful hurt?
My life would be so good now,
if I wasn't scarred and burnt.
Yet, now I've screamed all this to you,
it hasn't changed a thing,
So for me to live a life again,
some change, I wish You'd bring.
For no matter how I try,
to figure out solutions, 
I'm at the end of my resources,
nothing alters my conclusions.
Oh Lord, I come to plead for mercy,
Please empty out my heart,
cleanse me, heal me, make me whole,
Give me a brand new start.
I still my crying and my fear,
I admit my ways a flop,
I trust You for deliverance,
Please undo my tangled knot.
    Though I can't forgive myself,
I believe You have the power,
I give my bitter soul to You,
I will no longer cower.
My wounded heart I give away,
to do with as You will,
I am an empty vessel Lord,
only You can fill.
Please pour Your healing balm,
deep down into my soul,
Though feeling all discarded,
You alone can make me whole.
Lonely, hurting, grieving, damaged,
God stills the falling rain,
rejected, tempted, bruised, unwell,
He heals my heart of pain.
( and I can smile again )

 ~ To See God ~
Blessed are the poor,
Who know their desperate need,
God rewards them with a kingdom,
Because eternity they heed.
Blessed are the mourners,
Who repent of all their sin,
Blessed are the meek,
Who know they're weak within.
Blessed are those who hunger,
Thirst after righteousness,
God fills them with Himself,
So their lives will know His best.
Blessed are the merciful,
God will be merciful to them.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
His Presence He will send.
Blessed those who work for peace,
God says, You are My sons,
Blessed those suffering persecution.
Who have to face man's guns.
Blessed those who are insulted, 
And accused of being wrong,
They can rejoice, be glad in God
Of Heaven they belong

~ You're Mine ~
I awoke with aching in my heart, unsure I'd make it through
Feeling such loneliness all day, not knowing what to do.
There's deep pain inside of me, down, where no-one sees,
But I have to get on with life, and push aside my fears.
As I drooped, I felt a gentle touch, a soft whisper in my ear,
Then a gentle Hand reached down and brushed aside my tears.
Do not weep my precious child, for I, your Lord, am near,
Just lean upon My heart, your crying I can hear.
My heart beats always for you, I hold you in My love,
I am here, you can touch Me, don't think I'm far above.
Reach out and pull Me close, I long to be your Friend,
My life in you goes on forever, in Me, there is no end.
Do you feel safe now?
Embalmed in warm Sonshine,
You can trust Me with your heart,
Because dear one, you're mine.

~ I Whisper Your Name  ~
  Jesus,

whenever I am sad and blue
I can always lean on You
  I need Your gentle touch,

Because You comfort me
 so much.
You alone,
bring back my hidden smile,
As You walk with me
the extra mile.
You stay
as my forever friend,
You know
what lies around the bend.
I whisper Your name
and listen in prayer,
Safe, I am held
in Your loving care
I have nothing to fear,
for You
are so near.

Joni Eareckson Tada
Two Lenses
Though He brings grief, He will show compassion,
so great is His unfailing love.
For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.
Lamentations 3:32-33

The Lord took no pleasure in my broken neck.
Like any father who has compassion on his children, it pained his heart to see me hurt.
Yet at the same time, it pleased the Lord to permit my accident.
My spinal cord injury was something He sovereignly designed in and for his good pleasure.

God's ways are so much higher than ours, 
He has the capacity to look at the world through two lenses --
 through a narrow lens and a wide angle one.
When God looks at a painful event through a narrow lens,
He sees the tragedy for what it is. He is deeply grieved.
In Ezekiel 18:32 he says, "I take no pleasure in the death of anyone."
 God feels the sting in his chest when a child dies of cancer or a husband is killed in an accident.
However, when God looks at that same event through his wide angle lens, 
He sees the tragedy in relation to everything leading up to it, as well as flowing out from it.
He sees a mosaic stretching into eternity -- it is this mosaic with all its parts, 
both good and evil, which brings him delight.

In the span of a single verse, the Bible asserts "the Lord brings grief,"
yet  "He does not willingly bring... grief."
God tried this out on himself. He willed the death of his own Son, but He took no delight in it.
 God saw how Jesus’ death would demonstrate His incomprehensible mercy,
as well as bring His people to glory.
God often wills what He despises because -- and only because --
He has a wide angle view on the world.

Lord, too often I have only a narrow-lens view of my world -- give me your perspective
 and may I rejoice in the beautiful mosaic I will one day understand.

There is not a thing that God expects of  us
but that God will give us the power to do. 
There is not a command God gives
for which He does not provide the enablement.
