She stood by the window, gazing outward toward the freedom she
imagined exsited there. Incased in fear and want her soul
cried out for mercy. But anger rose within and it consumed
her. She had grown bitter and contempt had taken its place upon her
lips. For her prayers seemed to go unanswered.
How could this have happened she thought? She had been so close to
God for so many years, she had been in his presence, felt his
healing touch, and held blessing to numerious to count. Yet now in
her darkness she felt alone, abandoned by her God. She
knew he had not left, that it was her that moved away from his
grace. This thought only drove her deeper into dispair.
Why had she aloud herself to get to this point? Over and over again
thought weaved in her mind, thoughts of pain and hurt that had
taken bits and pieces of her soul through the many years. The
enemy had tricked her, she bought his lies and believed in his
spells, she had fallen. She now found herself buried deep in
his grasp. Never before had she felt such despair. She new
that seven demons had come into her clean house and they
brought with them more destruction then before. But she also
knew her Lord was not far, all she had to do was reach out to
him. But could she? Could she turn away from self,
could she let go of fear?
Could hope rise up within her again? fear, contempt,
bitterness, rage, covetness, pride, and unforgiveness had a
stronghold on her.
She cried out to her Yeshua...
Save me she cried and fell to her knees, Lord forgive me I have
become ugly and deranged by the things of this world. I left
my first love and I have embraced the flesh. I need you Lord,
cleanse me of my sins and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
I repent of my sins and turn away from them. return me to the
joy of my salvation.
With this she then sat in silence, her head lowered in
shame.
She felt no movement, she felt no change occur. Yet she knew
her Lord had heard her. She knew he loved her and would again
recieve her.
That night as she layed down to sleep her soul was at rest.
She made no request, asked for no favors,
she only wanted to give herself away to her Lord. Tears
dripped down her cheeks for she knew Lord was there
holding her, letting her know that joy does cometh in the
morning and the freedom she so despertly seeks would only be found
in Him.

Report AbusePoetry, I loved this work too! Honey you do have it ALL! Your poems are heavenly and you write with such heartfelt emotion it is easy to be carried to that place and moment in time that you are writing about.
This could have been me you were writing about or any one of millions of people who feel that life has not been fair...........
Heck, we know it aint fair, but it sure is glorious so we can all rejoice in that. I do that by seeing Lady Jane's posts, she starts me laughing for the day. Then I continue on to all the other posts that bring me "Joy", "Peace" "Comfort" and sometimes, "Answers" but always fellowship.
Hugs to you and yours

Report AbusePo, we should have been calling each other! Honey the past two months have been something......lol I did the normal, what I could not change, I just concentrated on something else entirely. I do believe that is the Ostrish Approach to solving life's little problems. Just say, "It is beyond my control, so I am lucky, I dont have to do anything." LOL
Okay maybe not the best way to handle things, and I cant say that it works for me because I still got a little lost.
Hugs to you and yours

Report AbusePoetry,
The ugly and derainged has filled my thoughts with the dispare and
hurt,
I go to my prayers asking for a cleansing of mind and word.
I need to focus on the triggers and make the change in my thoughts and words before they engulf my happiness,
A Wonderful Post!
