Dear God,

Only you know the level of bitterness in my heart.  You asked me to make a list, to make it real and visible to me.   You asked me to name the people, the cause of the bitterness, the length of bitterness by days and the price I thought they should pay.  As I began to write, my heart became sad and I realized what it was you wanted to happen to me.  

Today you whispered, "You cannot have war in your heart and peace in your soul."  I realized what you were doing and tears formed in my eyes and dripped down my cheeks.  I recognized the deep depths of your love and your desire for peace in me.  

Is there

no depth

you will 

not go

to love

your children

to healing

and wholeness?

Only you

will go

with us

into the

depths of 

our souls,

O God.

There you

dwell with us

in our hurts

and our sorrows.

You allow

our tears

to flow,

beginning the release

and reconciliation

of our soul.

Love always and forever, Andrea
