God, who never gives us more than we can bear…will always make a way for our over-whelmed souls to find relief. Amen. And we press-on. He said… he awoke…to find… Tears… streaming… his face and wondered, but even more than that… yearned…to recall the dream? the vision…? that place… Where his… well-built, secure… impenetrable …dam which received and harnessed the compiled agony…of all…digested pains… all his life… had begun to …fissure. Tears… from sleeping eyes…ran… free of constraint billowing forth from pent-up…sores… unhampered by objections escaping from, alas…a man! Waters… which only once before in his entire living so long ago yet, while awake …had he bore. And… he pressed to remember the…local not consciously…no, never consciously…! but to imagine that unconscious moment’s ember When God… in His Great Mercy…reached releasing the grievous accumulation of cruel, oppressive, stagnated… waves … ere…that which his soul could no longer bear …Tears Ps 126:5, Ps 56:8, Ps 30:5 ©jmsbell 9/03/22
