....If I Stayed Away....

if i stayed away
would you soon forget me
would your life go back to the way it used to be
would you smile again
would you do all the things you knew you could
would you hold another's hand
would your lips kiss again
would you lose yourself in the arms of another
would your life be better
would your fears all soon fade
would all the tears you've cried dry
would all your dreams all be realized
if i stayed away
would i ever cross your mind
would i be just another thorn in your side
would i make you want run just at the thought of my embrace
would i ever have a place in your heart again
or did i ever
if i stayed away
could you finally find peace
could you finally find hope
could you finally be made whole
could you finally learn to trust again
to love again
if i stayed away
and i knew in my heart that it was the right thing to do
i would run so very far away
i would never come back
i would never ever torture you with memories of all i wanted
i would cut out that part of me
that roots down deep in my soul
and toss in into the hottest flames
until it was ash
if i knew it would make you happy
if i stayed away
would you ever forgive me
because i cannot forgive myself
would you ever love me
because i cannot love myself
do you remember all those things you said i was to you
do you remember how that made me feel
do you remember how i told you no woman had ever said such things to me in all my years
do you remember the sound of my voice when i finally slept soundly
do you remember the passion in my voice when i would say your name
do you remember i said i would not leave you
because if all that meant nothing
then maybe it would be better
if i stayed away

This also shows where my corrupt thoughts have to change , to exchange lies ive bought for His truth and believe them..
Because the truth is he will never leave , its always me who turns away.. Hes always there ready to embrace me when i return to Him..

Oh yeah!
Isaiah 61. Ill let god preach to ya instead of me lol!! Hahaha!

Now read it and believe it ! Because this is sooo you!!!

The Year of the Lord’s Favor

61*The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
****because the Lord has anointed me
****to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
****to proclaim freedom for the captives
****and release from darkness for the prisoners,[a]
2*to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
****and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3*****and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
****instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
****instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
****instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
****a planting of the Lord
****for the display of his splendor.
4*They will rebuild the ancient ruins
****and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
****that have been devastated for generations.
5*Strangers will shepherd your flocks;
****foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
6*And you will be called priests of the Lord,
****you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth of nations,
****and in their riches you will boast.
7*Instead of your shame
****you will receive a double portion,
and instead of disgrace
****you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit a double portion in your land,
****and everlasting joy will be yours.
8*“For I, the Lord, love justice;
****I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
****and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9*Their descendants will be known among the nations
****and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
****that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”
10*I delight greatly in the Lord;
****my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
****and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
****and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11*For as the soil makes the sprout come up
****and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
****and praise spring up before all nations.


GOD BLESS YOU ")
