This is a message to all who have been abused and have cried out to God to help them. I have also suffered abuses and felt trapped in the turmoil that surrounded my life. I cried out daily for God to help me and my 3 children. Then on Mother’s Day, 7 years ago today, I received a message. As I look back, I wonder how many times we are given instruction but do not do it because it is not what we prayed for or just too hard to do. Think about it…
As I was worshiping in church…
praising God’s Holy Name.
A memory flashed before me…
where my life would never be the same.
For 7 years ago…
in another church on this day in time.
A Mother’s Day message was given…
that I knew was all mine.
The message was to “Leave…
take 2 children and go!”
“Leave your oldest behind…
for his future I do know.”
And as the tears flowed…
like a flood gate opened wide.
There was no stopping the tears…
as my sorrow I could not hide.
For I was given a directive…
from the Lord up above.
And I had to walk in obedience…
though my children I so loved.
The message was clear…
but my heart broke that day.
For I had prayed for my children…
but never planned to leave one this way.
So with my 2 youngest…
I left a lifetime behind.
To walk in obedience…
not knowing what I would find.
But God had a plan…
and rescued my oldest too.
From a life of abuse and alcohol…
which was the only life that we knew.
And as you read my book…
and my story will be told.
God brought us back together…
and rescued all our souls.
And though it hasn’t been easy…
as the 7 years have passed.
I know that walking in obedience…
will bring blessings that will last.
To start a whole new life…
as a stranger in a strange land...
Leaving everything behind…
not many can understand.
But when God sends you a message…
no matter how crazy it may sound.
Just walk in obedience…
cause you don’t know what will be found.
So 7 years ago today…
my journey of obedience began.
For I trust God with my life…
knowing He guides me with His Hand.
So my message to you today…
Trust God with your whole heart.
For He has plans for good, not for harm…
and may give you a fresh new start.

thank you…
Thanks Sunshine. May God bless you!
Wow, wow, wow. What a beautiful message! Trusting God and being obedient go hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other. Praise God for your obedience. Been there-done that and some of the things He asks of us is really difficult but as you said, His plans are for good, not harm. Blessings to you.
Amen!! We certainly do serve an awesome God, my sister!!
I am so glad that you liked it! I praise God for what He has done for me and my children. I know that what He has done for us, He can and will do for many more victims… Many blessings to you, my sister!
One of the most beautiful and meaningful poems I have ever read…awesome dear sister, so very awesome. In 1976 I received a message after chasing a worldly life with my all for about 4 years. I heard a message saying to leave my home in Philadelphia, because I needed to change and it would not happen if i stayed there. And God blessed me wonderfully, because I left my family and friends and went away guided by his spirit and my life changed for the better and I have never been the same again. I trusted Him because all I found myself always going in circles, getting back to the same point and repeating myself over again. I decided to trust and listen, because He had never did me wrong. In 1977, I was married and it has been 37 seven years come June. I gladly serve him everyday, because He is the first One who loved me!. And like you I am never looking back! You always inspire my heart and spirit, with your gentle selfless spirit! Hugs and blessings always!
Awe… thank you so much Wendell… You write some of the most beautiful poems so your comment touched my heart. I just praise God for giving me the words and for all that He has done for me and my children. Like you, I had to grab hold of God. He was the only One that I could trust. You and I are both examples of truly having to let go of our past to walk into our future. Its not easy but it’s necessary. Many blessings to you, my brother!
