Path Less Trodden

I am treading on a path less trodden 

Along are riven hearts 

so worn in agony

crying for God's mercy...

With no more reason to move on

they keep on

they hold on

to that faith in their heart

in every step of the path 

Believing 

Trusting 

that in the road less trodden 

God is molding hearts 

to greater faith

For His greater purpose...

And in the path less trodden 

God's mercy and grace 

is more than sufficient 

For He is keeping 

the broken hearts in His...

Remembering the ways of the Lord...

Remembering the stories of old

All the miracles of the Lord

As He saved and led Israel 

from slavery to liberty...

As He provided 

bread and fish for the multitude...

As He healed the sick...

and brought to life the dead...

Remembering the ways of the Lord

looking upon my life

remembering the days

that have come and gone...

Recounting...

how He held me up to the mountain top

how He filled my cups and my tables

how He kept me safe from many dangers

how He raised me up whenever I fall

how He pulled me back when I strayed 

how He fixed my crooked paths 

how He touched my mind and heart

that I may I understand His will and His grace...

My heart takes comfort 

remembering the ways of the Lord...

Feel their pain...

The depth of the deepest pain

Oh who could contain...?

The sadness of the saddest heart

Oh who could grasp...?

Feel their pain 

Feel their sadness

So you may understand...

Does God Heal?

How does God heal?

Would He come to heal me

as in His words He promised?

Would He send His miracle

like what He've done to the many?

Would He have mercy on me

and heal my heart...?

Would He surround me in His grace

As I have always believed...?

Yes... 

I know He will...

Like a Cancer

Like a cancer

My pain is like a cancer

No cure...

They never heal...

Could only wish for a miracle 

If only God would come to heal...

They said let go and let God...

They said never lose hope have faith...

They said get up and move on...

They said be happy and welcome a new life...

They said be strong hold on...

They said love yourself and be free...

They said so many beautiful words

but they never know what  a dying heart

and soul is going through...

They never know how they helped 

themselves up to breathe a tick at a time...

Like a cancer

Their pain never heals...

Though deep in their soul

they could only wish

God will send His miracle to heal...

I Love you Lord

I love you Lord

Though

my eyes are sore in tears

and my heart deeply in great pain...

I love you Lord

Though

my days are spent in griefs 

and my life is a fate

of crumbs and leftovers....

I Love you Lord

Through 

all that in my life 

you allowed and willed 

to happen...

Through the losses and frailties...

Through nothingness...

PTSD

Do you know them?

Do you really understand 

what they're going through?

Do you feel their pain?

Do you hear what they hear?

Do you see what they see?

Can you feel their agony?

You will never know

If you are not one...

Where art thou now oh God...

Where art thou now oh God?...

Why hast thou forsaken me?

Why hast thou not saved me

from my pains and misery?

Why hast thine arms too short 

to reach out to my heart?

Why hast  thine ears

deaf to my tears?

Why hast thine eyes

seen not my frailties?

Where art thou now my God?...

Thou hast known 

my soul believes in thee...

Through all my agony

in thine will in faith I remained...

in thine wonderful amazing grace

always I believed...

For Thou art God

Marvelous and Mighty 

Holy in Majesty...

Yet...

Where art thou now Oh God?...

All around me are pain and tears

my worn torn heart 

are all that I could see...

Where art  thou now oh God?...

Though God

In our every today's 

the one we love

may not be with us...

They may not be there

in our every tomorrows...

But deep here in our hearts

they are always with us...

Though God did not will

that we belong in their life

that they belong in our life...

Have faith in His will 

for the reasons why...

The hopes and dreams

The life that we wished we have

The time gone by

that we can not bring back...

The thoughts and the memories 

in our hearts and mind 

may keep coming back...

Even then in these 

though in streaming tears

hold on and be comforted 

in trusting the heart of God...

         @MA11/272015

He will get you through...

God has reasons...

Though in tears 

Though in pain 

just let it flow

because faithfully 

He will get you through

until we know and understand 

the reasons of the many why's...

I Kneel...

Oh what amazing comfort it is 

to trust and believe the heart of God...

Oh what solitude to understand 

God can never be wrong...

In all my deepest pain

facing life's truths and realities

though in streaming tears

my heart is resting 

in trusting God's grace...

Oh God I will draw myself to you

I will cling in you...

When my sadness and pain 

is drowning me within...

when it's mist is pulling me in strain

and my heart starts to crumble again 

faced by the dagger of reality 

to you I come and kneel...

    @MA10212015

If God would...

They said 

Never stop asking God

Never give up 

on your hopes and dreams...

They just don't know

the truth that I am living in...

They just don't hear and see

my anguish 

to God I cried all nights all day...

If God would only give me 

one chance to ask  and pray...

I know needless for me to say...

He knew it all so well...

Everything...All the way...

The Love of God

Oh!

The power of the love of God

covers all the universe!

Whom shall we fear?

No!

Not even the darkest schemes of evil...

Let our hearts rejoice and shout,

and declare and share...

Our God is God of the  Universe!

And it is His Love that protects us 

and provides us for all that we need...

The sunlight, the moon,  the waters

the air we breathe...

Whom shall we be afraid?

Declare the Mighty Power of God!

and spread His Love all over the Earth!

Though we throw our towels...

There are times 

when in our worsts 

that we tend to question God

and we feel like

dying in our faith

pulled down 

by heaviness and drain...

and all we can see 

are the traces of pains...

Yet... 

God's grace 

is beyond comprehension 

Still... 

though we throw our towels 

amazingly

His grace will pick us up 

and detail by detail

He will breathe in our hearts 

renewed peace 

renewed wisdom

renewed faith in His will...

Then we will see

He is proving Himself again

of the wonder of who He is...

Whatever maybe...

In whatever may be 

you are going through... 

In Whatever may be  

no matter what...

I pray that you will 

completely trust

the heart of God...

And believe that 

In whatever may be

Gods grace 

will see you through...

in all that we can not do

in all that we can not understand... 

It is His grace 

that will find us through ...

will lead us through ...

and will make us understand...

Take heed...

Take heed...

God 

stretches out His arms

His mercy and grace

Truth...

is the sharpest dagger...

Many fears to face it...

But Truth 

Sets Free...

There always....

In all my groaning...

Graciously God

is faithfully touching 

my grieving heart

filling my heart with His wisdom

bestowing my mind 

with His understanding 

that in no matter what

nothing is wasted...

for there's always 

a purpose for everything

that He allowed to happen...

Hopelessness

Hopelessness 

is like cancer

most of the time 

it's final...…

My Finality

🍂Faced with the  truths again 

I am trembling...

realizing again 

to hope is not for me...

like a cancer

the pangs of my reality

is taking me to my finality

hopelessness

is my destiny...

God knows why...

God knows everything...

It's not about giving up

there's nothing I can do

it's just what is given...

Miracles and gifts 

some people are blessed 

cruel it may seem 

sad that 

it's not what God

has purposed for me...🍂

Believing in Hope

Yet in the world 

of hopelessness...

Though to hope 

is not for me...

My soul believes 

in Hope...

In Jesus name

In Jesus name 

Oh Lord 

You know my heart 

calls on your name

for anything 

and in everything...

In my tears I call on your name...

In your name is power

In your name is Authority 

The name above all names...

My soul calls 

In Jesus name...

In no matter what

We all have our own story to tell...

In completely trusting God

In no matter what

is where we can have

Peace that surpasses all understanding 

in the midst of pain...

in the midst of tears...

in whatever circumstances...

It is the grace of God 

that will work in us

and touch our hearts

to have and be 

in God's grace and peace...

With a grateful heart

With a grateful heart  

I thank you Lord

for the things 

that my heart can not see

for everything 

that I can not understand 

With a grateful heart

though in sobering tears

my heart is thanking you Lord

for helping me learn 

how to humbly and completely 

trust your heart...

From the Flow...

When things around 

are dragging you down

weary not...

your soul knows

where your strength

will come from...

It comes 

from the Heart of God

streaming through His grace 

flowing through faith 

for those who believe...

So weary not...

All I need to be

In my life 

you led me through many

difficulties and testings ...

You know how 

my days have been

as you know my soul within

from you nothing is hidden...

I've been into many

and you were with me 

all the way...

Though no one 

stood by me

But I have you 

always with me...

and you know 

that you are all I have...

that in your grace is all 

I need to be...

Please see me through

My hopelessness I give to you

My swollen heart I lift to you

You know how I am 

suffering 

great agony and deep pain

In hopelessness 

to you I kneel 

sustain my heart

please see me through

Rest my heart...

When sadness is creeping 

the wounds throbbing 

all I can do is whisper 

"My heart just trust 

the will of God..."

Through all the tears

I keep telling myself 

"Rest my heart 

in trusting 

the heart of God..."

Trust in God my heart

Trust in God 

my heart

just trust 

in Him

just trust 

in His will...

In everything...

In everything 

God allowed to happen

He wants us to learn...

that in Him 

we can always lean...

that nothing will stand 

apart from Him...

Pen your Pain

Harm yourself no more...

You've been hurt 

much too much

Stop... 

Not anymore...

your skin please don't cut

In your melancholy

in your struggles and despair

write down your pain

pen your heart and hurts

the screaming and gnashing within

all the agony and tears

write them all down my friend...

To Be Still...

As the thoughts 

rush one by one

I will quiet my soul

and be still before you 

my Lord...

For the things that are not meant to be 

For the life you did not will for me

though it tore my heart

so great and so deep

in streaming tears 

I shed...

There's nothing I can do

but to be still 

before you...

Just hold on...

        Just hold on...

In moving on...

In letting go...

In trying to be strong...

In surviving the pain...

In comforting your heart...

In wiping out your tears...

Just hold on...

trusting God

that in His time 

He will make all things 

beautiful...

In the land of the living...

      

Oh God...

Please feel my grief 

      and heal my pain

You know my heart 

      is dying within

The sadness is consuming

      it is overwhelming

You know I'm tired

      you know the weight

that I've been bearing...

      I pray...

Please touch my heart

      please bless my soul 

with your peace and grace 

      in the land 

      of the living

Please allow me to live 

      a life that is 

      truly breathing

In hopelessness 

      please grant me hope

I pray Oh Lord...

      

Please send your grace...

Father God

where is your grace?

for until now 

I am drowning in misery

and tears...

Lord...

where now is your grace?

To heal my so worn heart

from all the wounds and hurts...

Lord...

you know 

I am constantly waiting...

Please send now 

your healing grace...

As another day comes...

In tears 

and in deep pain

you know oh Lord

I am trusting in your will

Though the sadness is never leaving

Though the pain is never ever ending

Upon waking up in every morning 

My Lord I will call to you again

to sustain me with your grace 

as another day comes 

and roll again 

and again

Cruel Me...

Today

again...

I stabbed my heart

Oh Lord you know the depth

you know the pain 

you know the agony

I could not pretend

With all that my eyes can see

Lord forgive me...

I stabbed my heart

again...

today

Sole reason...

When your heart 

is where your hope is

when in hope 

is where your heart is

Yet you are 

in a place of hopelessness 

where you lay in bed of tears 

and could not find reasons 

to believe 

Faith in God's purposes 

is the sole reason

to breathe...

Facing Hopelessness

Facing hopelessness 

is facing reality...

It may mean giving up

on the things that matters much

It may mean to accept things 

that are not meant to be...

as with things that are meant to be...

It doesn't mean giving in to defeat

But being brave to stand and believe 

that there are reasons and purposes

for everything...

Though things aren't going your way 

though to hope 

is what your heart wishes to be 

though to have hope 

is what you want to pray...

Facing hopelessness 

is facing truth and reality...

A glimpse of light...

Hurts and pain

God may have allowed to happen 

and some too grievous to comprehend 

Though your heart can't find

the reasons

wait and see

For just in time 

He will make you know 

and understand 

why things had to be...

In your darkest 

a glimpse of light will shine...

walk through the light in faith

It shines even more 

as you advance closer

to believe...

Manuelle Augustine

         @2015

    Inhopelessness 

I want to believe...

Oh how my heart 

wants to believe 

that God desires 

to grant my wishes

and wipe my tears away 

as He comfort me 

in His embrace...

Through all...

Though your eyes fails your vision 

Though your ears can hear no tune

Though your tongue can't sing a song

Let your heart cry to the Lord

For though sitting on His throne 

He is with you through all...

Malady of Pain...

You never know

the weight of my sadness...

you never know 

the depth of my pain...

You never care how it feels

You never care it never heals 

Had you know and had you care 

you never could have caused

this malady 

of agony and pain...

When miracles He will not send...

Oh God...

can I pray for a miracle?

Oh Lord...

would you send a miracle?

Or are you testing me through all the pain

if I will trust and have faith in your will

when miracles you will not send...

Oh God...

You know I believe in You

In whatever may be

through the tears and pain

though miracles you will not send 

I will trust in You...
