point of view

I wrote this a little while ago but I need to be reminded again and again! Promises... Tearing through walls of doubt melting away walls I built to protect my pain The agony of loneliness the guilt of knowing there's no reason for it knowing I am not alone The sorrow over my numbness my rebellion and envy oh, I want to be thirsty! Child Hush Others have betrayed you but I was betrayed so that you will never be forsaken I am your hope drink, though it may choke you at first no place, no heart is impervious to the gospel whether you believe it or not My grip never slackens in the blackest night or the foggiest day if you ask I will give you trust.

New post below the last one. I started writing it before this one below and then saved as a draft so it posted underneath.

"I was a slave to self", he said "to my body my twisted mind my rotting soul chains of deceit snaked in and out of my every moment I wanted women, drugs, booze to bow and serve me and I was so lonely. I didn't see, didn't know, I was a slave to death and sin hell and Lucifer. And so empty. Then the Word reached in Truth pierced through the chains Blood rained from the clouds and washed my sins away til I stopped kicking and screaming I was blind, but He touched my eyes and now I see No longer a slave," - And his dark eyes glowed with joy - "A prisoner of hope you see." I suppose I am putting words into Lecrae's mouth by writing this as coming from him, but when I wrote it I was thinking about the transformation of the gospel from the lowest of places to righteousness and growth and Lecrae has been a huge mentor for me. I have definitely seen these things in his life so I don't think this is too much of a stretch =)
