Bible Studies Poems By Angela Jones / a couple of years ago Share Tweet Pin Share An Unlikely Sacrifice Given unto God a most precious gift of all, wrapped in tears and sorrow pulled from the heart; offered up to Jesus to heal the hurt. An unlikely sacrifice In the eyes of man but Holy and acceptable to God. Here I stand all my tears and sorrows I carry, taken from my heart and placed in my arms. I take to God’s altar knowing this is my sacrifice and all that I have to give. I give to God; wrapped in my love and consumed by my hurt I give knowing man could never understand my pain. Could never fully feel my sorrow; so I give it all to Jesus for He understands and He feels my agony. It’s great to say God understand, but it’s another thing to put your confidence in Him. Enough confidence to know He will accept your sacrifice. Have you laid your all on the altar of sacrifice? Jesus said He will heal and make me whole if I only laid my all out before Him; so I put my sacrifice on the altar before God with out stretched arms. I give my heartaches, and my burdens, my shame and all of my pain Every teardrop, every sorrow, and whisper my heart has shared; life’s burden to Jesus for this I am no longer able to bear. No more faking I’m fine with hurt in my eyes Not able to be happy when sadness is all that I feel. The weight of my hurt is more than my heart can conceal; So I give it all to Jesus, cause I know He can feel all my hurts and my pain, my misery I face; not knowing that what I carried is too heavy for me. Thinking I can take it one day at a time. Each step more painful than the step before. Knowing God knows but never fully putting it in His hands So today, I give my sacrifice to God wrapped in my sorrow, tears, and my pain to lighten the load on my frame. An unlikely sacrifice I give to God like*Hannah lent Samuel to God. I give my pain, I don’t lend it because I can’t take it back, because it’s far too much for me to bear. Give your burdens to God, wrapped in your tears, and the grief from your heart. The pain that you carry belongs to God. It’s far too much for you to bear, but God He waits with out stretched arms to receive your sacrifice and to replace your heartache, and fill that place, the void you can’t fill, with peace and joy that will cause you to rejoice, and again I say rejoice forevermore. Understand God said, “wilt thou be made whole?” He wants to do more than mend your broken heart. He wants to fill your broken heart with Love. He wants to make you whole; So you can be used to heal another. Life’s burdens I carried, then I learned to give my burdens to Jesus for my burdens He promised to bear. “**Wilt thou be made whole?” *1 Samuel 1:28 **St. John 5:6
