so when what
once defined you
no longer defines you
when what you used to be
you no longer are
and what you once needed
you no longer need
does it no longer exist?
and is it no longer a part
of who you are?
and of who you will be?
and what if what no longer
defines you or is you
and you no longer need
is exactly what you come
face to face with
and toe to toe with
looking you in the eye...
what will you do?
if options are being discussed
not too many exist
for some things simply
have no middle ground
and to think you can
touch that flame
and not get
burned
is a lie.
sometimes it would make
sense to turn and run
from that which once
held you...
get as far away
as possible
as fast as
you can
yet at times to run
is to give in
to the lie
that it still
has power
over you
and perhaps in the
turning and running
you just might be
forgetting that
the healing
the freedom
the redemption
is in actuality a beautiful part
of a beautiful story...
a love story written only for you
by the very hands of the One who loves you
and as He writes that story of love
He writes Himself into the script
for His own death and
resurrection are the
key to redemption
and redemption is
the key to the
love story
for He is the essence
of that story so lovely
and is not that which
once held you and
defined you
a part of the story?
and to run away from that
would be running from
the very essence of the miracle...
and the miracle written
into the story is one of
grace so amazing
love so pure
and hope...
and is hope not perhaps
part of the reason it
is written into the story
in the first place?
and perhaps better than turning your back
would be walking straight forward
towards that which brings
fear and doubt
knowing in your heart of hearts
you are redeemed
so you face it not alone
rather you face it with the
One who wrote the
love story
and perhaps it is in
the sharing of that story
hope will be brought
to the one feeling hopeless
courage to the discouraged
light in the darkness
peace in fear
and truth...
the truth that
with Jesus
nothing is impossible
and even the deepest of pain
does indeed have a purpose
and beauty unimaginable will rise
from the ashes of despair
and He receives all the
glory.
