AS YOUR OWN

Because of your self hate

You find it impossible

For someone like God

To want to love you

Or even live within your broken heart.

You feel the ice upon your heart

You feel the wounds of life on your skin

And you feel the emptiness inside you

All creating a doubt and disbelief

That God ever existed in the first place.

You feel the dark lonliness

And you feel anger at the lies.

They told you God would never leave you,

But you've felt abandoned

Throughout your entire existence.

You don't see the footsteps next to your own.

Instead you see your own blood spilled

In a trail behind you.

ALL LIES! you scream...
Betrayal is bitter.
But just wait.
He is there,
And His heart breaks because of
Your agony.
You don't feel worth His time or love
You don't see where He has stepped in
On your behalf.
But He is there,
Waiting for you to love Him back.
Deep down that is your desire,
To find Him, and love Him,
As your own, on your own.
