I am consoled

If for nothing else, I am consoled. I know that the unfailing love of my LORD will comfort me when I am deep in emotion. I know that I have strength from the LORD. I know that I have riches in the LORD. But, things still pull me down. I know that I am consoled by HIS love and by HIS ways. Sometimes my hurt runs so deep and I cannot express my words; but, I know that I am comforted. HIS words comfort me all the days of my life. This is not something that is just garble. When I choose to get into the WORD, pray, and listen to HIM, I know that I can find peace and comfort. I know that HIS rod and staff comfort me. But, when I have believed upon the WORD and have taken a righteous stand and the winds of torment do not stop, I know that I am comforted. What does it take to comfort? What words can possibly be said that could comfort me? How can the healing balm reach to such depths that it is healing to my soul? It is only the comfort that the LORD can bring to me in the days that are so difficult. I am consoled. I know that my LORD has not left me or abandoned me. I know that HE attunes HIS ear to me and inclines HIS heart to mine. HE keeps track of my breathes and my tears and allows me to express my deepest thoughts. But, even more importantly, HE comforts me. The presence of the LORD is my consolation; but, HE does even more. HE speaks to me; HE touches me; HE listens when no one else listens; HE gives me dreams; HE gives me visions; HE gives me hope. I am consoled. (Psalm 119:76). 

Comforted. Promised. Understood.
