[Thespiritexpress] The Pain of Separation

[Lyn Vice]

Just found this beautiful poem in my spam folder along with all the threads of appreciation.
I want to add my voice to the song of praise - so beautiful - these lines made the breath catch in my heart...
It’s only when I stop resisting the original pain
that Sin dissipates out of existence.
It’s only when I acknowledge the state of bliss
always existing

Pregnant with the love of encountering the truth of these words,

~£yn
