Drops of Joy – A Devotional Journey of Healing — Update 18
There was a time when my days were so hard the skies were never blue and the nights seemed endless and foreboding. Consequences of the poor choices I’d made put me into a seemingly inescapable pit, but God made a way where there seemed to be none. He called me, comforted me and converted the pit into a past that He could use to call and comfort others. Even the worst of my history is what allows me to be understanding and compassionate in helping others who are now where I once was. Have you had those days in a pit? Read. Pray. Heal.
From the book:
“You know, everyone has a bad day now and again. We can get through those pretty well, knowing the frustrating day ends and a new day rises with the sun. This poem reveals the struggle of a hurt so deep there is no comfort. It speaks to those times when we are so far down the only way to look is up, or to those times when we can’t unwind from the emotional pain that doubles us over. “Some Days” addresses healing from the loved one who mistreats us, leaves us, or betrays us. Any one of them destroys our stability, trust, and hope.” (Taylor, Joy S., Drops of Joy – A Devotional Journey of Healing, 2026, Lily of the Valley Publishing Services, Indiana, p. 43)
Come and join me on this journey of God’s healing. May a piece of my past lead you to a better future through God’s intervention. This is a compilation of prose, poetry and prayer to bring you closer to the Lord. Read. Pray. Heal.
