A Wounded Heart – POEM

All of us experience wounded hearts. We feel pain that is often caused by those closest to us. But God has healing for our broken hearts. He provided His Son, to minister to us in our brokenness. If you are hurting. Jesus understands and will give you peace and healing.

A WOUNDED HEART

There is a pain that is difficult to bear.
Some have said that I shouldn’t even care.

Let it go, forget about the wrong that was done,
But I remember it happened to me, more than just once.

It is ever on my mind and the wound breaks my heart,
It drove a wedge between us, it drove us far apart.

With the offender, I was counted as a friend,
How could they hurt me, over and over again?

Will the pain ever cease? Will this hurt ever decrease?
If time heals all wounds, Why does this hurt seem so new?

But then I see a glimmer of hope, from one so pure,
With nails in his hands and feet, I think I see a cure.

He paid the price for my healing and for my hurt,
It is only His blood, through His suffering, that this will work.

So, I release my pain to the one who died for me,
So that from this aching wound I might finally be free.

Perfect Day on the White River

It could never be a bad day of fishing, right? But when the fish are biting, it’s a perfect day. Even when the heat index is 100.

Spent the morning just below Beaver Dam on the White River. The Rainbow trout were biting good. Caught and released 6 of them.

I love God’s Creation and I am thankful for the beauty that He has given us in Northwest Arkansas. It’s a great place to vacation. An even greater place to live.

PODCAST: Lord, Help

Here is our latest podcast, Thoughts for the Journey. If you ever need the Lord to help in your situation, you don’t want to miss this episode. It will encourage you!

Psalm 107:4-16, “Some wandered in the wilderness, lost and homeless.
Hungry and thirsty, they nearly died.
“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,
    and he rescued them from their distress.
He led them straight to safety,
    to a city where they could live.
Let them praise the Lord for his great love
    and for the wonderful things he has done for them.
For he satisfies the thirsty
    and fills the hungry with good things.
10 Some sat in darkness and deepest gloom,
    imprisoned in iron chains of misery.
11 They rebelled against the words of God,
    scorning the counsel of the Most High.
12 That is why he broke them with hard labor;
    they fell, and no one was there to help them.
13 “Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,
    and he saved them from their distress.
14 He led them from the darkness and deepest gloom;
    he snapped their chains.
15 Let them praise the Lord for his great love
    and for the wonderful things he has done for them.
16 For he broke down their prison gates of bronze;
    he cut apart their bars of iron.”NLT
