God's Box #1: "Who Will Hear My Cry?"

by Brenda Garard, Atlanta, GA
All my life I've cried from the inside out, I hold it in till it makes me want to shout. I often wondered if it could be heard aloud, so I decided to speak out. Even then I wonder why I'm made to feel so bad when I just want answers within. The questions aren't really directed at anyone in perticular, it's just all bundled up ready to come out. That's why I like the outdoors so much. That's why when I cry out to God I ask that He put me out in an open field. where I can just cry. Cry just because I can. Cry because I couldn't. Cry because I keep crying and no one hears my cry. Cry. I have so many questions why, Cry because I still think it's all my fault even though I know it's just part of His plan. Some times I cry just because I don't know what else to do. So one day as I was reading the Bible, and my soul was crying out. Then God showed me Psalm 34:4. " I sought the Lord, He heard my cry and delivered me from all my fears! Hallelujah! But still I cry. As God has promised, one day no more tears, pain or suffering.

Note: When Brenda sent me this piece I thought it would be a good idea to have a regular department on my blog that I can written pieces from my readers who want to share their testimony's/discoverys/soul searchings, etc., with the world. Brenda even came up with a name for this new section, "God's Box." So here is the first of many.
