I've been stabbed in the back
Do you see the knife protruding?
No, do not pull it out!
You may make it worse.
No, don't dress the wound!
Let me feel my pain
And don't expect me
To get any better soon.
Either feel my pain
And walk with me in it
Or walk away and leave me be.
I've been stabbed in the back
Do you see the knife protruding?
No, God did not put it there.
Your words make it worse.
No, he didn't dress the wound
He let me feel my pain
And I don't expect him
To make it better soon.
He feels my pain
And walks with me in it
His only promise is to never leave me.
I've been stabbed in the back
Do you see the knife protruding?
No, God did not remove it.
He allowed it to get worse.
No, I'm not dressing the wound.
I'm not hiding my pain
I don't expect pleasure
To come my way soon.
I feel only his pain
As he walks with me in it.
His presence is the only thing I need.
Author notes
We mistake removing pain and feeling pleasure with a closeness to God. In reality it is often pain that draws us closer to God especially when that pain is NOT healed. "My grace is sufficient for you." God told Paul.

This poem is so very true...
When we are in pain and suffering or someone close to us is..we often then turn our faith and prayers to God..
I know I have had the knife in back plenty of times..not really in my back but with surgery and even saying I wasn't going to be alive for another 3 months.that I only had until this March to live...but I surpassed that error in a Dr judgement and haste and I am still going like the energyzing bunny....As long as we have God with us we will be alright with his love and his prayers and as always with him beside us all the way.....
Excellent...enjoyed the read thoroughly
I think I am caught up now..just thought while I was reading would just go ahead and finish them all...
Hugs n love
