The Speachless Scream


mother wailing for 'lost' son

The mournful wailing of a mother who has lost her child.

Chills run up the spine that a human can make such a sound.

A man stands with his mouth open but no sound comes forth.

His wife taken in the prime of their lives.

Horrors bring horrible answers from those most horribly afflicted.

But has anyone heard the moans of God for the lost souls of this pitiful place of sin?

Who has seen his mouth open, that lovely mouth which speaks words of Life?

And who has testified that He is pained at the loss of that rebellious soul who could have held God’s promise in a perfected hand?

Beautiful agony


Agony (Garden)

I am caught up, and that for the rest of my life, in such a beautiful anxiety; an agony of love.  Every person I meet is a possible brother or sister of mine.  Oh how I yearn to see Christ in them!  And this anxiety presents itself in a distinct peace.  For I know that this desire, when fanned into flame, will produce the love necessary to accomplish His Will.

Father, I rest in You.  Through the power of Your Holy Son I rest in You.  Even in this anxiety so tender and sweet, I rest in You.  May Your will be done forever!  Amen.

 

By His Grace.
