Tarnished Hands

I feel such pain my soul aches.  

My soul aches.

No one tries to know my heart.

I am invisible unless I am in trouble.

People only see the bad.

Through it all there is God holding me saying 

“ my grace has saved you and it’s sufficient enough.  You no shame.  Look in my eyes and see my love.”  

“ Lord my hands are filthy.  How can I touch you.”

He showed me the holes in the  blood coming out. His tears mixed with blood.

“Child my grace is sufficient and I payed the price for all what does it matter what people say when I am here and I see you and love you!”

This is a very touching piece Heather. No matter how anyone sees you, the only opinion that truly and inevitably matters is God's alone. I really enjoyed reading this and I can relate. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work.
