Kether Donohue Instagram – Celebrating the One today who gave me life and then breathed life into me when I wanted to take my own. The most vulnerable thing about me is my relationship with Jesus and the below certainly doesn’t encapsulate everything in its entirety, but sharing a little letter turned psalm that I wrote Him after I gave Jesus my heart and my life when He delivered me from the worst suicidal period of my life. It’s called “I Touched Your Garments and was Never the Same”
Thank You, Jesus. You were the One who did not throw me away and I would not be here if it wasn’t for You. You introduced me to a love so great and magnificent and pure and redeeming, transformative, healing, that my human mind cannot comprehend it. My human mind that beats myself up and falls into self pity and self loathing plummets myself into the darkness and without your Light, it’s myself and the world I fight. You taught me that the deeper the destruction, the greater the resurrection. You taught me how to love myself and I can only love others properly when I love myself. I need You like I need water and now I understand why You say people who drink from You will never go thirsty. I understand this now because I have experienced it. All the mistakes I’ve made and flaws I have, you’ve forgiven and made me new.
You made me understand why David wrote psalms. It heals all my qualms
Without You I’m in a drought, without You I am overcome by worry and doubt
Without You I’m desolate vacant and dry
The worst is when my insides are so dry I cannot even cry
Your water penetrates
Sweet Jesus You’re my Love
My Love my Love from above
You’re above and in my heart
You’re written in my heart
You cast out the guilt, the dirt, the shame
My heart felt like an ashtray
I wore a cloak of shame
But then You called me by name
You justified my name
You claimed
me
As Your own
You left the 99
When You knew I wasn’t fine
The same You that turned water to wine
You don’t define me by my mistakes
You refine me for Your Namesake
