An analysis of trust : a poem

This poem is a journey through different facets of trust to create a synopsis

Oh achy heart with no one to trust

the weary soul with no place to call home,
The heavy head with no shoulder to rest on
How your internal war isolates you
It is indeed a hard decision to make
An arduous road to take
When you consider that words first be can sweet yet the truth about them is bitter
you travel down that road once more

Oh, naive heart,
look once and then again because the one you trust is not worthy,
it is one who reads from a well-written script,
listen more than you feel is necessary,
because the puzzle is solvable,
when the pieces do not fit it is not a mystery but a clue.

If only you could see the truth then you would soar over the isolation,
over the heaviness
There is but one that is worthy of all trust
God alone
But on earth, there are a few he has placed
Because the curious thing is we need each other
The creator did not make us to build walls but to build bridges.

Divided Loyalty

James 1:5-6 in the NLT version. Most versions write about doubt in verse 6 but here it calls doubt having "divided loyalty". The presence of that divided loyalty causes inward instability. It's like constantly switching between one of two options without picking one. The book of James has a very practical matter-of-fact approach and it encourages us to just make a choice. In this particular verse, it encourages us to pick faith over doubt. " But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind." James 1:6 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/jas.1.6.NLT #faith#doubt#waivering#faithblogger#bibleverse#christianinspiration

Does God feel our pain?

Do you believe that God understands how you feel? Do you believe He feels your pain? This verse is a reminder that He does. It's part of the story of Jesus visiting Mary and Martha after their brother passed away. He told them that God would get the glory and that their brother would rise again. They didn't understand that He meant that he would rise again based on his command. Jesus didn't go ahead with the miracle to prove himself to them, instead he stayed with the sisters and their mourners. His soul was troubled. Jesus wasn't more interested in proving that He was the son of God who could work miracles than he was in connecting with Mary in her pain. It's the same way with us. Sometimes we just don't understand what God is saying but He still feels what we are feeling and weeps with us.
