And There It Was
A simple question’s answer spewed all over.
Truth ran down my face and those tears burned. I never thought I would be asked that question. So much time passed. I thought the answer had been pushed back….. way, way back in the depths of my heart.
The answer true and painful. Hurtful things crept out of the dark part of my heart. Reliving the insecurity and inadequacy made my heart sink.
A heartache that crushed this spirit. A heavy heart aching to be heard.
Will the truth set me free or make me vulnerable once more? Freedom, I hope for….. Vulnerability, I fear.
The inquirer looked on…. peered into the truth hidden deep within me.
I quickly tried to clean up the spewed truth. I wanted it back, hidden and kept safe.
Her tears showed love. Apologies fell from her heavy heart.
“If I had known…….”
Love, acknowledgement and support came forth behind the painful truth. Weight lifted. Exhausted fears relieved.
A smile pushed itself across my face. Tears dried and happiness filled my heart. Yes, freedom put itself in motion and kept vulnerability at bay.
A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit. Proverbs 15:13
