For My Heart is Heavy

I cried out to the Lord,
Lord, why did you give us so much sadness and sorrow?
And the Lord heard my plea.
You said you made us in your image, but does not seem to be enough.
For an image is just the outside shell.
Could you not have put more of yourself inside?
Wouldn't we have been better off?
And the Lord replied,
Surely the Angels, who feel my Glory are better off. But we know what happened there....

I cried out to the Lord,
Lord, my sorrow is much more than I can bear!
And the Lord heard my plea.
Lord I have great pain and sorrows but if only I was more like you, it would not affect me as much.
I would understand more, I would be less emotional, I would be calm.
And the Lord replied,
Did not Jesus weep? If your personal sorrows are great, are not his greater, for they are for the entire world.

And I cried out to the Lord,
Lord, forgive me.
And the Lord heard my plea.
Lord I am selfish and only thinking of myself. Thank you for your words of wisdom.
And the Lord replied,
I am your rock and foundation. Come to me always with your troubles. For even the truth will comfort you.

And I cried out no more.
