A HEART'S CRY

PSALM 6:1
O’ LORD REBUKE ME NOT IN THINE ANGER, NEITHER CHASTEN ME IN THY HOT DISPLEASURE.
 
I HAVE LOVED THOSE THAT YOU HAVE TRUSTED ME WITH. YOU HAVE USED ME IN MIGHTY WAYS TO TEACH AND HEAL THOSE THAT YOU’VE CHOSEN. I HAVE WET MY BED WITH TEARS IN THE NIGHT FOR THOSE WHO FIND IT SO HARD TO RECEIVE YOU. THOSE WHO STOOD IN THEIR OWN WAY. THOSE WHO WERE REJECTED BY PARENTS AND LOVED ONES THINKING THEY WERE REJECTED BY YOU. THOSE WHO WEREN’T TRAINED TO CALL ON YOUR NAME. O’ MY GOD, MENDER OF BROKEN HEARTS, MY DARLING, HIDE NOT THY FACE FROM ME. IF I COULD PLEAD MY CAUSE I WOULD. IF I COULD STAND IN THE GAP I WOULD. SURELY YOU HAVE MADE ME A SIGN, YET THOSE WHO SEE ME THINK EVERYTHING IS FINE WITH THEMSELVES. THEY THINK I MESSED UP. THEY THINK I’VE GONE WHERE NO MAN DESIRE TO GO. THEY LAUGH ME TO SCORN, MOCK, SHAKE THEIR HEAD AS ONE YOU’VE MADE AN OUTCAST. THEY STARE IN AWE AS ONE YOU’VE CAST AWAY AS AN ENEMY. YET THEY DON’T CONSIDER THEIR OWN WAY. YET IF I COULD GRANT THEIR PETITIONS, I WOULD. IF I COULD GIVE THEM THEIR DESIRES, I WOULD. I HAVE BEEN OBEDIENT TO MAKE MYSELF TRANSPARENT TO PORTRAY YOUR TENDER MERCIES AND LOVING KINDNESSES IN HOPE OF PROVOKING THAT PASSIONATE PURSUIT FOR THE LOVE THAT YOU’VE SHOWN ME. OH LORD HOW AM I ENCOMPASSED WITH SHAME, THE VERY SHAME YOU PAID THE PRICE FOR.
UNTO THEE WILL I CRY, O LORD MY ROCK; BE NOT SILENT TO ME: LEST, IF THOU BE SILENT TO ME, I BECOME LIKE THEM THAT GO DOWN TO THE PIT. PSALM 28:1
