The Woman Today

Before you say you love her,
before you ask her name.
There's something you must know,
she's been stripped from all her shame.
Her yesterday's are gone,
her tomorrow's are unknown.
She's living in the present,
and making it her own.
Don't try to tear her down,
she's been down that road before.
The woman she's been created to be,
will not compromise anymore.
If you can stand beside her,
and just allow her to be.
The woman that has become,
a woman of dignity.
She's had her share of pain,
she's had her share of tears.
But now she stands before you free,
delivered from her fears.
She's made some big mistakes,
her life was just a mess.
But now that she's surrendered,
her master calls her BLESSED.
He dances over her,
and showers her with his love.
Unconditional love only he can give,
that comes from up above.

Isaiah 54:4
"Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood."

Weapons of Warfare

Weapons of warfare start to arise, as I'm led into battle I can hear the distant cries, of a mother praying desperately on her knees, asking God who dwells in heaven to meet her children's needs. Weapons of warfare start to arise, as I'm led into battle I can hear the distant cries, of a woman being beaten bruises covering her face, asking God who dwells in heaven, "please send an extra measure of faith." Weapons of warfare start to arise, as I'm led into battle I can hear the distant cries, of a child who's been molested feeling empty and unworthy, asking God who dwells in heaven, "what's the ending of my story?" Weapons of warfare start to arise, as I'm led into battle I can hear the distant cries, of a patient battling cancer holding on with all their might, asking God who dwells in heaven, "Dear Lord help me win this fight." Weapons of warfare start to arise, as I'm led into battle I can hear the distant cries, of the h...

He found her

He found her. Covered in all the debris of life. Covered in the choices she didn’t give a second thought to making, only to realize she was facing the consequences and feeling as if there would be no escape. He found her, sitting and staring blankly wishing, desiring to start over again. She was covered in her experience of extreme pain and disappointments. He found her, put down, let down, and torn down. How could she look up from where she was. Gravity weighing her down. He found her, though He never took His eyes off her and He gently whispered to her, “I’ve been here all along. How could I find something I’ve never lost sight of?” At that moment she found Him and her epiphany of how deeply lost she was caused her to become responsive to the invitation before her to a place where she could be free from dwelling. She found herself and looked on past all the things that had placed her in that state of desperation, though in that state she embraced her freedom in her intima...
