What does it mean to die to oneself? To sacrifice dreams? What about sacrificing pain? The pain that tore you once apart, making you bad for anyone else, the pain that still echoes in the moments of silence, clinging to you with a frightful persistence, the pain that slips through the cracks of dawn, to leave you in the morning with a battered soul? What does it take to sacrifice the pain at the altar?
It alarms me that He calls for my pain, wanting it to be turned over to Him and it terrifies me that I hold on to it so with such ferocity even though everyday, I scream to be able to let go. Because the pain is killing me.
What does it mean to surrender my pain to You, Lord?
