A Gentle Whisper

He reached down from on high

and took hold of me;

 he drew me out of deep waters.

He rescued me from my powerful enemy,

from my foes,

who were too strong for me.

They confronted me in the day of my disaster,

but the Lord was my support.

He brought me out into a spacious place;

 he rescued me because he delighted in me.

Psalm 18:16-19

A Gentle Whisper

********************

It was a gentle whisper

that turned my heart to Him

I was alone and starving

my tears unshed within

~

There seemed no hope for my life

although I strived in vain

I sought for worldly pleasures

but they only brought me pain

~

It was a gentle whisper

that caused my heart to turn

For Christ was gently knocking

as I was soon to learn

~

There are so many starving

and may we always pray

Lord, give us a gentle voice

that we might feed a heart today.

My Twitter profile says,

My faith is not shallow,

because I’ve been rescued from the deep.

Each time someone notices it and comments,

I tell them that maybe one day

 I’ll write a book about that rescue.

I was rescued over three decades ago from eating disorders.

It’s not something I talk about much.

But I know that I was not healed to keep it all to myself.

I wrote the above poem a few months after my healing in 1984.

Do you have a story that you’re supposed to tell?
