Loved

It started with a couplet
quite easy to direct
but blossomed into something else
beyond my intellect.

I am only one,
I ask you, what can one girl can do?
You fed thousands fish and loaves
though you only had a few.

You healed the sick and dying
saying "Greater shall you do"
But I am only human, Jesus,
how can that be true?

And then You say you are 'I AM',
I AM alive in you.
And I say "OK, Good enough~
The Truth will have to do".

So how 'bout we just keep in touch
if You're that close, sweet Lord
It won't take long to reach You
and that's a call I can afford.

Very clever little G
you're starting out just fine
and when the need is there
just speak the water into wine.

Heal sick and broken hearted
lead a soul out of the flame
It's not your job to worry how
just do it in my Name.

Do not worry how you'll look
or what you're gonna say
just be yourself and let Me
be The Light that shines The Way.

Jesus was a real man
the books will verify
at 33 they nailed him
to a chunk of wood to die.

And to be sure that he was dead
hanging naked on a cross
they speared him though, and left him there
my Jewish carpenter boss.

And not a word was written
that He would not fulfill
the scene was painted well before
the making of the hill.

All men can be redeemed
that is,
bought back with His own blood
we cannot pay the price for sin
He freed us by His Love.

Written long before his birth
their KING would rise day three
and so it was, and so it is
that I AM lives in me.

And to many, it may seem absurd
but this is not a game
I am aware of the price He paid
and the power of His Name.

I've no stake in religion
there's nothing there for me
but I will follow Christ alone
His Love has set me free.

And though I am just one girl
and crazy into rhyming
In prayer I find my comfort
and I trust him with the timing.

How can we heal the broken harted when we our self creates that which breakes a persons heart.Do we ask Jesus to forgive us for doing so, and move on.

Not all brokeness is created by personal interaction and it's not we who heal the broken hearted. It's Christ in us as we yield to His Spirit. We can bring healing as we ask God to forgive us and then go to the other person and ask for forgiveness. Unfortunately, some people choose to reject our forgiveness just as some reject God's forgiveness. It's their choice. But we must move on. If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us. To be bound by someone else's self pity is emotional blackmail. For, who the Son sets free, is free indeed.

I have experienced being in the grips of despair and hopelessness of my own making and can testify that Jesus can set us free...even from the walls of our making.
