Experience This Trade

One day, two years ago, I decided that it was too much to carry...It weighed too much and I refused to tote that unneccessary baggage around, that hinderance that kept me from giving Him my all. When that severe pain struck my heart like no other at that moment I knew I had to talk to that man that could give me a fair trade. Like an SUV today, It was costing me too much and it had to go!

This pain....

*Crepted in so unexpected, at the stage of innonence, and made my heart its home

*Walked with me throughout my day and slept with me at night

*Talked to me whispering words of Hatred into my ears

*Led Me into some dark places that I never imagined myself being and simply could not stay

*Held my hand as I crossed the street and did not help look both ways

*Fed me the most disgusting dishes one could prepare

*Ate with me each day never displaying table manners

*Bathed with me but was unabled to be washed away by the flowing water from the shower head

This Pain that I carried was one that was unbearable...Yet it prepared me for the greatest trade I have yet to encounter thus Far

I met a man who traded me JOY for my Pain

This Joy.....

*Was given to me therefore it can not be taken away by no one who walks the earth

*Is my new dedicated walking partner

* Speaks hope into my situation and encouraging words to my Soul

* Leads me into great places and His Presence

*Holds my hand when everything seems to be failing and when things appear to be going well

*Eats with me and has all the manners in the world even passes the salt(lol)

* Will never be cleansed from my being *Is my Strength

This Joy is that which I was given from God himself and I plan to let it stay with me until the End....The Greatest Trade Ever...Trade in Joy for Your Pain....Be Blesses and Stay With God
