5 Minutes Friday - Mercy


Joining Lisa Jo and the girls...5 Minutes, no edits, no rewrites and love those that came before you..
Topic: Mercy
Go....

I prayed for mercy. He said give it away. I asked for this pain to stop. He said meet anothers needs. I asked for relief. He's said be someone else's. I asked for the easy road. He's would have none of that. I wanted this to be different. He wanted me to be different. I cried so many tears. He used them to wash away the old. I asked for so many things that I thought were what I wanted. In His mercy, it seems, He is giving me what I needed. Thankful.

Stop.
