Listen to the Melody in the Pain • Draw Strength from God
This is how the Lord responded. When the pain sings , listen to the melody and find Me there in the low notes, the long wails, staccato beat.

Despite chronic pain, despite disabilities and limitations, despite whatever restrictions you are facing, there is purpose for your life – things only you can do, words only you can say, tasks only you will see need doing. Choose to love daily. It is the highest purpose of your life.
Poetry allows us to explore chronic illness – the symptoms, confusion, loss, grief, and uncertainty, the moments, days, and small victories from a different perspective, to journey with words, follow where they lead, and to give voice to difficult emotions and challenging days, to touch the wellspring of our faith and discover God’s still small voice in new and deeper ways.
The Season of Lent is a time of pausing and reflecting about what our Savior, Lord Jesus has won for us: salvation and new life in God!
