Just something that has been on my heart lately.
I was struggling with self worth over the last week or so
and I figured out it’s because I was believing some lies.
So, here’s my heart.
I wrote it in Poetic Form <3
We have fallen trap to a liar.
Who desperately wants to put out our eternal fire.
We have answered to the whispers.
We have chosen to hear those small echoing snickers.
We have been picked on, abused and shattered.
All our weaknesses highlighted and gathered.
He chooses to take it and rub it in our face,
Leaving our hearts confused and dazed.
He gets inside of our souls and messes with our dreams
Leaving us broken and stripped of self-esteem.
He chooses to distract us
He entices us and leaves us in the dust.
We compare ourselves to the rest of humanity
Causing us to drown in our own vanity.
The only problem is we don’t even believe we are beautiful
We’ve chosen to see ourselves as something unusable.
He slithers in and roots himself in our weakness
Blinding us of our true uniqueness.
We end up trying to understand the world through the liar’s eyes
Refusing to see that each individual is the highest prize.
Lying isn’t his only trick
Destroying is his walking stick.
Getting you to believe a lie
While your real purpose watches on standby.
He refuses to let you believe
He stands firm in being labeled a thief.
However, there are truths greater than his lies
They speak louder than a whisper and shred scales off of eyes.
They set you free and break the chains,
Lifts burdens and removes the stains.
It picks up the pieces and puts it all back together
Guarding you with the coverage of His feathers
You are no longer shattered and broken
But in Him your worth has been spoken.
You are worth more than gold
And one of his truths outdoes every lie that has been told.
You are loved far more than you could ever imagine,
He didn’t just die for you, He did it with passion.
You are spoken for, loved, and cherished
He took your sins and they are already perished.
His Kingdom doesn’t home comparison
You won’t find His truths in addiction to heroine.
You find His truth in His love for you
It doesn’t come with a manual or a how-to.
It’s not about what went wrong in your past,
The lies or if you’re an outcast.
It’s about what went right on the cross
Perhaps you need to struggle with memory loss.
Because all of that stuff in your rearview
It has to bow down to the new you.
He is your King and He is mighty to save
He won’t stand for anything standing in the way.
So, today, please realize who you are
It doesn’t matter what’s happened thus far
The devil leaves you in the dust
And the Father makes the dirty just.
He takes the ashes and makes it into treasure
Creating a worth you never could measure.
Instead of falling into a trap of lies
Find freedom in falling into the Maker of the skies.
