It was a good run or, should I say, a crawl for me. Some really underestimate the hurt that this curse can be. It’s like You have Your back to me While also stabbing me.
I thought You were the faithful one, the one who healed the broken sons. When You said “It is finished,” I never thought, “I’m the finished one.”
What happened to Your love for me? Will You ever come for me? You said that if I came to You, You’d never let me free. Yet it’s a mystery how Jesus Christ has abandoned me.
Because of Your grace, I can say this race was a great run. But what was the point if I didn’t know the raised son? Now I’m in terror; I feel my faith is the fake one.
