Beautiful Cleansing

 

Beautiful cleansing

 

How beautiful grief’s cleansing,

Tears from deep sorrow.

But where do these soul drops come,

This great weeping?

God you are more spacious then deep blue of sky’s expanse.

A great storehouse is this Blanket cocoon of our Great Creator’s earth.

How beautiful; human depths filled with new understanding.

Will our own life song claim beautiful lessons within our tears?

Our tears are yours Holy God;

We can only cry as little children

-  In times of helplessness, we are as little lambs.

You hold us and our hearts.

We are yours after all; for nothing is hidden from your knowledge.

As the psalmist says darkness and light are both alike to thee.

Psalm 139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee;

but the  night shineth as the day:

 the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

                           

                          You are our place of rest and safety in every place of pain as well as joy.

When you can reach a place of pure sacrifuce and repentance, pleading and crying for God to take over and wash you clean and place all in the altar- that’s where the tears of cleansing clean your spirit and soul- Hod needs to have full control- we are nothing without Him- wonderful words🌹

I will always appreciate the beauty of how people share their thoughts here. We are giving help and affirmation within our words. Thank you for your loving and willing and motivated sharing. It means a lot!
Blessings,

Well put, Kathy. The world seems to be leaning on its axis.
We seem to be a nation that never stops. News is pumped in 24 hours a day.
Relaxation is for dead.
It's not surprising the human gasket is blowing all over the place.
Your last line makes total sense.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Hi Paul,
Yes I understand where you are coming from...so much pain! At every corner it seems that the human soul is crying out with the brittleness and harshness of disasters and untold atrocities done to precious human life. We must watch ourselves and do the best we can where we are in our own little rooms to love in this life and give affirmation. life is short.
blessings to you and thanks for a right on review.
Kathy

I had to look & see when you wrote this . . . it's so perfect for the day after yet another school shooting! I do believe that grief is a cleansing journey & you've painted that sensation perfectly here. As always, I love the way you present your Christianity in an approachable way, never the least bit preachy, but always friendly & warm & uplifting (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Margie,
Yes, it seems we cannot get away from trauma and undeserved pain in our lives and in the lives of others. "Another shooting" How do we explain it? Sin and evil and just pain and dysfunction walks in our midst. I'm sorry that this happened and feel as I know we all do for the familie's and students and friends impacted. I know God sees. Thanks for your thoughtful review and all you give in word and caring.

oh the weeping .... :( really appreciate this expression of a loving and caring God/Creator .. i especially like this line:
"A great storehouse is this Blanket cocoon of our Great Creator’s earth." love it!! ;) reading your poem brings me peace and comfort ... and the appreciation for this kind of weeping .. it comes from nowhere seemingly ...but absolutely turns one to thoughts of God ... this would be a good time for me to sign off the Cafe ..with positive thoughts and feelings and memories .. but it has been so difficult for this site to stay operating i fear i must take full advantage before i am exited from it once again ;{

Einstein,
With the ongoing research and awareness of the vastness of the universe and it's clockwork design and complexities came the idea of the covering or blanket of the earth. Our emotions are complex too and we are so in tune to the beauties and wonders of creation. "Blanket cocoon" came from that. I am delighted with your review by the way.
Bless your heart sir!

in pain there is joy, also---just that we can feel that much for those we love and lose.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Jacob,
There is pain and you are right, it seems that we are so mendable with time...then the memories become such a place of beauty and love and melody. Our souls are very deep and so moving and living. Thanks so much.
Kathy

[wordman]

so when pain and sorrow knock on your door,you know who to call on

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Thank you Wordman, Your are so right. It really is that simple. It's interesting that this area is so cut and dried so to say. Pain and sorrow are a given somehow...just part of this precious life and death package. I I love your review. Bless you, as always. Kathy

[wordman]

sometimes we cry out to no avail,it is meant to be sort of say,it is a test,on that note i can proudly say i have been in school all my life

[Kathy Van Kurin]

God views us with such deep love and nothing goes unoticed. Our complex layers and continual learning are really quite amazing. Love your comment too...."I have been in school all my life." Clever!

[wordman]

[Kathy Van Kurin]
