Like the Israelites…I too have lost my way…like a thunderous clap…something to get my attention…I am no longer a slave to my past…I don’t have to live in fear…you say that you’ll rescue me…not only that…you never want me to return…sometimes when I don’t see…I long for the status quo…
You delivered me from abuse…you delivered me from a life of manipulation…sometimes I remain fearful…that I would go back…because I don’t see what you’ve put ahead…I know that my God will save me…and I know that He has rescued me…from the depths of the ocean…
I sometimes struggle…when bricks are being thrown…I feel like they are coming all at once…you won’t let your child be crushed…you took the weight of this fallen world…and even when I am scared…when I don’t know what to do…teach me that you will provide…
The voices of the devil…ringing in my ears…telling me that I am a screw up…telling me that I got what I deserved…trying to cause me to doubt…the goodness of my maker…trying to march over me…and put me on parade…when the night is darkest…that’s when I remember I have been redeemed…
