Grief VS Addiction

“Grief is Knocking-So is He”

Grief is like addiction, it has no respecters of persons and it does it’s best to hide

It’s covered up with beauty, perfect selfies, and secrets

Mainly the biggest cover up of them all are these two lies...

We all know them very well

They go by the names of Mr. Lust and Mrs. Pride

Most people relate “Grief” to death

But that’s not always the case

It’s actually any loss, like a boyfriend or home or maybe a job or special place

It’s simply losing control and just like that grief begins its chase

Everyone has, OR will experience it in one form or the other

Some a tragic loss.. others maybe an absent mother

No matter the experience the pain is real

and doesn’t just go away

Most are triggered by memories of places visited, lived, or stayed

Once it’s planted into the mind it’s established and here to stay

The longer you ignore it, the sicker you become

Eventually you will wake up and regret everything you have OR haven’t done

Time goes on and you brush it under the rug

You ignore it, step on it, treat it at best like an annoying bug

Depression is now here and all you can do is run

You waited to long to deal with the grief now the only thing standing between you and death is a trigger on your gun

How did I get here, so many tears, rejection, loss of self-worth and time

Grief stole my heart and now Depression has taken my mind

My life used to be perfect, now it’s just as good as a stolen item pawned

But as you place your finger on the trigger of that gun

God reminds you of the Red Letters and says, “please don’t do it-that’s why I sacrificed my only Son”

All used up Lord, We say...Sold, traded, and bought

With nothing left to offer

Completely broken, left to die, no longer alive but left out to rot”

God Speaks when you beg Him and cry out: My dear child look up and remember

You don’t understand Lord, “I am in the mode of survival”

He responded “ You know you don’t need a church, to experience my Revival”

I AM the Creator of ALL things in the Heavens and above

I AM the Creator of ALL things on Earth

and below

I want to heal this depression and the grief

But you got to get it together and walk in what you believe

Take it for what it is -don’t be sorry, make a change

I died for this, for you, for them, I told you I am in the pawn business

I already made the exchange

Embrace the grief, the depression, and all of the pain

It’s only for a season; it comes like the wind and leaves like the rain

Don’t stop in the middle of the storm; WAIT for it to pass

Persevere, stay in My lane, it’s better than any Airlines’ 1st Class

Stop trying to figure me out and trying to always understand my way

Stop asking when, where, what, why,

Just listen to what I say

But God.... I’m so tired of hearing let’s talk about it or are you mad

Nobody understands me Lord..my life has been one big heartache and quite honestly I’m just sick of being sad

You must let go of the past and stop focusing on what you could’ve had

My child listen, It is going to be a fight but with me it’s get better

I have never left you, I will never leave you and I will never forsake you-

I love you and WE are in this together

The miles keep on rolling as does time

It’s like the beat of my heart, a perfect Rythm in these lines

So much like the song goes

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting

Time after Time

Time after Time

At some point we get stuck with all these memories....

But never be afraid to admit your weaknesses and push away your pride

This is the only way your going to make it through to the other side

All the while dealing with lifes everyday tasks

Remember to humble yourselves before the mighty hand of God, get on your knees, repent, pray, and then ASK

MYTH: Dreams they always last

FACT: There are Dreams that don’t last and only few that come true

What the world doesn’t say is just like anything in life it all starts with YOU

So here are the facts grief it doesn’t just end...SO, YOU must put it in its place

It’s simply a narrow passage,,,, But it’s not a place to stay

It’s not a sign of weakness, Nor a lack of FAITH

Its the price of LOVE that the Lord showed us all as He was crucified on that day

Reach out and Touch the hem of his garment and receive the Power of Love today

It’s the same Resurrection Power that raised Christ from the Grave

From living in years of darkness, hopeless, and no future in sight

His Power of Love saved me and has forever changed my life

Take it from me don’t wait to fall, get cut, or bleed

God wants you right where you are

Open wounds that only He can clean

Naked with a heart full of lust and sin

He is standing at the door knocking -

It’s time to let Him in
