The Guess Who sang, “These eyes are cryin’. These eyes have seen a lot of loves but they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.”
Have you cried a lot? Regardless of whether you’re female or male, we’ve all had our share of tears. At times, pain can be unbearable. Feelings can get so hurt we don’t know what else to do. In the song above, a special love is gone. Hurt is all that’s left. Have you been in that neighborhood? Do you know its alleys and hidden walkways? Do you have a place to go hide and bury your face in? Have tears become your companion? Have you voiced these words below?
”I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me, And every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be…”
Always Something There to Remind Me (R.B. Greaves)
I sometimes feel pressed by my past. So many things change! I’m no longer who I was 30 years ago. My ways, my eyes, my hair, my body, in general, are different. My thoughts on some things have also changed. Not only how I look at things, but how I look, period; has changed. But shadows can linger over our lives. However, God’s pull is stronger. Sing His song over your life:
“You have ravished my heart, with one look of your eyes, with one link of your necklace” (Song of Songs 4:9).
“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book” (Psalm 56:8).
Maybe hands hurt you in the past, but God’s hands are here to comfort you. Life may have handed you unfair treatments, but God’s love is different. For one, you are His handiwork (Ephesians 2:10) meaning, you’re His beloved creation. He personally created you and there’s no one else like you in the entire world.
“Fear thou not, for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10).
God Bless,
You’re the apple of His eye! (Psalm 17:8)
