Destiny Child

Destiny Child

I woke up in a nights sweat shaking with thoughts of the past
Yet in my soul and in my sprit I did not weep
Deep within me a voice cried unto me
"This is not a time for tears and never has there been"
My heart jerked at such a careless verse
And beat faster with upset and hurt
"How dare you say such a thing?" I screamed
For I have seen so much, and I have beat so much
But still it doesn’t take the pain away it seems
I have dreamed for much, and achieved much but I expect much more of myself
Why should I not weep?
Is it unfair for me to weep about my trials?
Unfair to weep for my losses
Unfair for me to weep about my pain
Unfair for me to wanna feel hopeless
How dare you, say such things
The voice spoke softly and said to me
For in all you have gone through I have been there
And through all you will go through I will be there
For your trials have given you a great heart to bare
And with me by your side there is nothing you shall fear
Although you have seen a terror or two
There is so much more I have planned for you
You’re not like others
And not as you wish
But through out this life you have received many gifts
It has been in your troubles, and your grievance
It has been in the tears you have shed through out seasons
It has been giving to you because you could bare it
And your shoulders are strong you can feel it
It has made you stronger all you have been through
So this is why I say such things to you
Fear not what is to come here
Fear not the things that travel near
You have been blessed in all you've been through
It’s DESTINY CHILD the burdens I give you.

As human beings we find ourselves troubled. Whether it is in the midnight hour, midday, or any other hour; we all question the lives we have led or the paths we see before us. It is not wrong for us to weep but in each tear we drop understand that strength is what will come of it and your destiny is being brought closer to you by each and everything you go through. We will each experience our season. Whether it be a drought when we need it to rain, or a storm when we need peace; our season comes in due time. It all makes sense when you sit and truly take time to recap on each event and identify how it has positively influenced your life. At times it may be hard to see the good in the bad but how can there be light at the end of any tunnel if we don’t take time to see it. In troubled times know that there will always be refuge. And that refuge no matter in what presence it presents itself is a gift much like the pain that came before it.

Just a little something I wanted to share with everyone to let them know that trouble doesn't last always although it may seem as it does. Free yourself from your in adequacies, your fears, your troubles, and your past; embrace the lessons derived from them and move forward towards a greater goal.
