Comforted to Comfort

Wednesday, September 9, 2009 at 5:35am

I was typing and reading the Word.. I started to cry.. I just cried.. and cried... silently... tears were flowing freely from my eyes so I had to stop.. and pray.. Lord God...Yeshua..my Yeshua.. my Yeshua... I was restless the rest of the night..

I was about to sleep, when I heard a gentle knock on my door.. It was my son-in-law. He received an urgent call " from a " brethren." A young wife, who has been cheated.. rejected.. despised.. and now battered.. physically.Same young woman, same story.. The m arriage bed has been " defiled.' This has happened before.. about a month ago.. the husband came and fetched her up.. To vouch for his sincerity, he even brought his mom and younger sister.. Forgiveness was granted..and for some months thereafter, no news.. At times, no news.. is good news..

She was crying her heart out.. this time the groans, and the pains were deeper..My daughter was comforting her and attending to her needs..I went inside my room, closed the door.. I cried.. and cried.. and cried... SO, this is it.. Lord. " THE TEARS WERE FOR HER.."

IS THIS SCENE/S NEW??? it was NOT!!!! THIRTY YEARS AGO.. I was that young " woman." The only "difference" that wehave is that I was a young wife, with 5 young kids. She is yet, childless..
And I have seen same scenes repeated many times over. One of the main reasons why our home became a " mission house.. a refuge.. a sanctuary- for rejected..despised , battered women..
And it is ironic, that this scene happened again in September..

Sing me a lullaby.. sing me to sleep tonight.. ( it's morning, Lord God.) Sing me a tender lullaby..quietly take control.. sing me a lullaby, and whisper to my ear, that " Iam your child." She too, is your child, Father..sing her a lullaby, too.. Tell her " you are in control.. heal her wounds Oh, Lord.. nourish her back to " wholeness." Comfort her, as you have comforted me.. and my children, through those ' darkest days of our lives..

You are our SHEPHERD.. Our El RO'I... the GOD WHO SEES AHEAD.. We love you.. love you.. love you.. what more can I say???..
