God laid this poem upon my heart as I was finding hyperlinks for a recent blog (A Day without Talking) and, like in the past, He revealed some amazing truths about who I believed I was and the person He created me to be.
Enjoy,
Angie
This is my revelation song.
The world said I’m a million things.
The enemy fed me lies that took root.
These were the things my heart would yell, moan, and sing.
I AM depressed and suicidal.
Broken, alone, overlooked, unloved.
I AM my sexual history.
Guilty, impure, loose, easy.
I AM a loud, black girl.
Sassy, obscene & offensive, an attention whore, self-serving.
I AM smart and overly productive.
Committed, distracted, pigeon-holed, busy.
This is my revelation song.
The world said I’m a million things.
The enemy fed me lies that took root.
These were the things my heart would yell, moan, and sing.
I AM irrelevant and ordinary.
Just a number, a face in a crowd, cookie-cutter, a carbon copy.
I AM trapped and not worth freeing.
Another princess in a tower, another maid with unfair treatment, the red-headed step-child, systematically oppressed.
I AM forgettable and unloved.
Disregarded, ignored, an obligation, an unwanted commitment.
I AM not covered by the blood of Jesus.
Too sinful, uneducated, too disobedient, not good enough.
This is my revelation song.
The world said I’m a million things.
The enemy fed me lies that took root.
These were the things my heart would yell, moan, and sing.
I AM a child of God.
Pursuing righteousness, relationship, restoration, freedom.
I AM looked upon with grace and mercy.
No sin too great, no separation too long, no distance too far, no prayer unanswered.
I AM a daughter of the Most High.
Chosen, saved, sought after, clothed in dignity & grace.
I AM purposefully created.
Known in the womb, uniquely gifted & talented, aiding in restoration, pursuing holiness through Christ.
This is my revelation song.
The world said I’m a million things.
The enemy fed me lies that took root.
These were the things my heart would yell, moan, and sing.
I AM an original of the Creator of the universe.
Unique, intricately designed, intentionally purposed, serving a crucial role in the Kingdom.
I AM forgiven and worth redemption.
Invited, restored, sanctified, blessed & highly favored.
I AM seen and known.
Handpicked by God, chased down by the Spirit, made righteous by the Son, granted grace, mercy, and freedom.
I AM the one Jesus left everything for.
The lost sheep, the lost coin, the prodigal son, the one that got away.
This is my revelation song.
The world said things God has made false.
The enemy fed lies that were laid bare in the light of His truth.
These are the things that dictate my faith, hope, and pulse.
