Beautiful Cleansing

 

Beautiful cleansing

 

How beautiful grief’s cleansing,

Tears from deep sorrow.

But where do these soul drops come,

This great weeping?

God you are more spacious then deep blue of sky’s expanse.

A great storehouse is this Blanket cocoon of our Great Creator’s earth.

How beautiful; human depths filled with new understanding.

Will our own life song claim beautiful lessons within our tears?

Our tears are yours Holy God;

We can only cry as little children

-  In times of helplessness, we are as little lambs.

You hold us and our hearts.

We are yours after all; for nothing is hidden from your knowledge.

As the psalmist says darkness and light are both alike to thee.

Psalm 139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee;

but the  night shineth as the day:

 the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

                           

                          You are our place of rest and safety in every place of pain as well as joy.

When you can reach a place of pure sacrifuce and repentance, pleading and crying for God to take over and wash you clean and place all in the altar- that’s where the tears of cleansing clean your spirit and soul- Hod needs to have full control- we are nothing without Him- wonderful words🌹

Praising God in the midst of difficulties is a mark of genuine Christianity. Keep up! Write more for God's glory.
You are blessed!

A woman of faith and spiritual understanding. People look at pain and suffering as something negative, but they could be a great teacher in life as well as making us loving and compassionate. Thank you for sharing. God bless.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Mr. Sami,
I sense the broadening awareness of growth of compassion's own song given a place with you. Your review speaks of human openess to the lessons which life offers freely as you are open.
Love the words you give.
Blessings sir.

[Sami Khalil]

All true. You are very welcome. All rich blessings.

John 16:33 (NIV)
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Sorrow connects us to the comfort of God's presence. Suffering makes our hearts more tender and sympathetic towards others; thus purifies our lives and causes our spirits to rejoice in the hope that lies before us.

Your share emphasises that spirit of faith, hope and trust for a promise giving! Well written piece … :-)

[Kathy Van Kurin]

All folks in differing ways and intensities experience challenge, pain, even trauma. You are right this is an area of commonality. Jesus also said: "In this world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.
Thanks for the great words of comfort from the context of God's word. We can never go wrong with that!

There is a beautiful, lifting spirit in your words. The darkness comes for us all, but there is the light of God's presence to guide us on, to cleanse us, and purify us even in suffering. What a profound vision of life, real life, deep life.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Your review is great. I particularly like your above phrase, " but there is the light of God's presence to guide us on, to cleanse us, and purify us even in suffering." Its nice to read your lovely review.

[An owl on the moon]

I deeply appreciate your uplifting words that always inspire our faith.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Inspiration is a joyful work! We will keep doing our best. Thanks for your encouragement.

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

Wonderfully said, Kathy Van Kurin. Poetic, truth, inspiring, educational and timeless. Tyfs!!!

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Your words are inspiring and that can go a long ways. We all are just trying to share as best we can. Timeless is also a lovely word. Thankyou.

[Neville]

First of all, the title grabbed me and then the power of your faith shone through. A spiritual write indeed and I imagine you found it most cathartic. All Good Things Kathy.......N

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Neville,
Pain can truly create a cleansing process washing away all false impressions. Tears come and then the reality of what is beneath the surface is realease and exposed. Yes, I suppose "Cathartic" fits. Love to hear from you as you share honestly your feelings therefore my mind is rejuvenated with another one's feelings to ponder. I love to ponder!
Blessings,
Kathy

[Neville]

We got a win win then. Ponder on my fine literary friend....Neville

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Absolutely ethereal & transcendent poem my friend! I am so drawn in by its spirituality. Beautiful language, flow, cadence, Bible references...it has such musicality and is like a hymn from your dear heart. Tears are offerings to God that purify the soul- yes and Amen. Thank you for sharing this Kathy-a perfect poem this Sunday! Xo:)

[Kathy Van Kurin]

The honesty of sadness and tears brings out the truth of who we are and our response. I suppose that a poem flows along with our soul as we deal with the things of this life. I appreciate your intelligent response. Thank you so much.
