A Soul's Cry

I am feeling afraid today. With my whole heart I am still choosing to believe that all things are possible, but I am feeling afraid.

There is nothing that I can imagine that hurts more than believing with your whole heart, soul, and spirit for something—physical healing, financial abundance, relationship restoration, a new business, whatever it is—and it doesn’t happen. You affirm, you declare, you pray, you take action, you wait.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick. There is no truer statement than this and no one wants to be sick, so sometimes it’s just feels easier to not hope, to not dream, to not risk, to make do, to keep your expectations low or have none at all, to settle.

And yet, there is a constant cry that emerges from deep within the soul demanding more—the big, the bold, the unimaginable, the seemingly out of this world. This soul's cry won’t be silenced, not until her desire is satiated. She wants to be seen. She wants to be heard. She wants to scale mountains and walk on the water and show others they can too. She wants to unleash the greatness that is within.

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. Psalm 42:7 (NIV)
