TOPIC: DEPRESSION

The following poem is for someone very special. You know who you are. Please know that God LOVES YOU! Nothing in this world can be larger than His ability to handle it! Nothing. God sent His Son to die for YOU...that's how much He loves you! He's waiting for you to reach out to Him, to call upon His name, to trust, to give your burdens to. He's very able to carry the load. Sometimes when we are at rock bottom the only way to climb out is to lift our eyes and hands to Heaven and take His hand. It starts with a simple prayer. "Jesus, I need You!" Trust me. He hears you.

The Rocks Cried Out!

I came to this place of quiet retreat

My favorite place of solitude.

I came to contemplate how to die

For my life had been so crude.

I'd had enough of pain and grief

No one understood my needs.

I sat on my favorite rocky ledge

Began to process my dire deeds.

But something caught my eye

As I sat there at Seven Creeks

Nature in its amazing splendor

And the rocks began to speak!

Look at me, can't you see?

How can you be so blind?

My Creator thinks of everything

And He leaves nothing behind!

He thought through the earth

His plan revealed in it all.

If He cares for the mighty oak

He'll never let you fall!

I felt the Lord so close that day

Like no other time I felt before.

He drew me near and rescued me

As I sat on Seven Creek's shore!

I will always praise His saving grace

That makes me want to shout!

I will always cherish that special day

When all the rocks cried out!

I'll live my life forever more

In service to my King!

May I always be a witness, Lord,

And raise my voice to sing!

All my life I owe to You,

Who reached out and took my hand.

Each day that passes I have no doubt

Now I have an eternal plan!

the day she went to Seven Creeks where God assured her

He is able to handle what she could not.)
