The Confession of a Sufferer

This is me for so long. Placing my faith, hope, and love to the LORD is the thin thread that keeps me hanging. Mama Mary bring peace inside of me, to my family, to my community, to our country and to the whole world.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I said, “I will be careful about what I do and will not let my tongue make me sin; 

I will not say anything while evil people are near.” 

I kept quiet, not saying a word, not even about anything good! 

But my suffering only grew worse, and I was overcome with anxiety. 

The more I thought, the more troubled I became; 

I could not keep from asking: 

“Lord, how long will I live? When will I die? Tell me how soon my life will end.” 

How short you have made my life! 

In your sight my lifetime seems nothing. 

Indeed every living being is no more than a puff of wind, no more than a shadow. 

All we do is for nothing; we gather wealth, but don't know who will get it. 

What, then, can I hope for, Lord? 

I put my hope in you. 

Save me from all my sins, and don't let fools make fun of me. 

I will keep quiet, I will not say a word, for you are the one who made me suffer like this. 

Don't punish me any more! 

I am about to die from your blows. 

You punish our sins by your rebukes, and like a moth you destroy what we love. 

Indeed we are no more than a puff of wind!

Hear my prayer, Lord, and listen to my cry; come to my aid when I weep. 

Like all my ancestors I am only your guest for a little while. 

Leave me alone so that I may have some happiness before I go away and am no more.

Psalm 39: 1 - 13 GNTD

The LORD is my Spouse

 To all barren woman, single by choice, single at the moment, be inspired and believe and feel that you are not alone because the LORD is your spouse. 

Choose hapiness and contentment. 

I was thinking, if I read the book of Isaiah before, I would have chosen things differently. Reminiscing about my choices back then. 

Now, I am also laughing my heart out because the LORD lead the way to where I am now, who I am with. I am always grateful and it will always be a mystery how You move into my life, O LORD. I love You and thank You for being You. 💚🙏😘

“Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the Lord .  “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.  For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.  “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.  For your Maker is your husband— the Lord Almighty is his name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.  The Lord will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit— a wife who married young, only to be rejected,” says your God.  “For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back.  In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the Lord your Redeemer.  “To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again.  Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord , who has compassion on you.  no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord , and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord .
