It was sweet as honey

"He said to me, 'Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you"...a hand was stretched out to me, and behold a scroll of a book was in it...And there were written on it in words of lamentation and mourning and woe..."Son of man, eat whatever you find here. Eat this scroll I am giving to you and fill your stomach with it' ...it was in my mouth as sweet as honey."

exerpts from Ezekiel

I cannot simply curl up and hurt. I must uncurl, reveal my soft stomach, and stand waiting. I must be supported by my feet legs thighs back shoulders neck. Vulnerable. Suffering, mourning, and woe will be offered and I must take it into myself. An unpleasant, wrinkled, and soon soggy mass in my throat...but the LORD will make it sweet as honey as He has done in the past.
