Channelize your sorrow - poem

Channelize your sorrow (Based on 2Kings:6:27-33)

Come sorrow, where do you let it go?

Blaming yourself. Point all your fingers to your own self.

Labelling yourself pathetic; The world doesn't revolve on your head.

Yes you need to own up for things, which you have done.

But a burlap is not the ultimate solution.

Blaming others and letting vengeance grow.

All my problems are not because of him.

His act or choice is not the result of your plight.

Do not let grudge bias you.

Yes the sword is not the final solution too.

Blaming God and putting all the baggage on Him.

Saying with sarcasm, the Lord has done it 

Now why should I follow Him; meaningless useless questions.

Yet already determined not to pursue Him.

Yes, rebellion is not the last solution too.

Every sorrow is a sign post that points my sin, my plight

Every sorrow, a consequence of sin; the entity.

A reminder for the need of the cross.

And the last drop of blood, dripping from His wound.

Every sorrow is also a pointer to my enemy.

Who prowls around like a roaring lion.

Looking whom to devour; whom to take with him to damnatíon.

But the Lamb who was slain, is the victorious Lion of Judah.

Every sorrow is a channel to rush back to God.

To call Him, Abba and run to His arms.

To be still in His bosom, crying, repenting, seeking forgiveness.

Helpless, pathetic and rebellious as we are.

Worldly sorrow, is without repentance

It results in spiritual death.

Where as Godly sorrow leads to repentance

Leads us away from sin and results in salvation.

Worldly sorrow is the one who blames yourself.

Who blames others as well as God.

Non productive, not useful, ineffective.

Makes you run in that vicious cycle.

But in Godly sorrow, there is hope.

There is joy and experiencing the Agape love.

Being reinstated; Touched by His healing hand.

Back in His bosom; where you are always destined to be.
