I am Redeemed! Page 46

Here are the lies that this world tells me:

·      I am unworthy.  I should not want to be known for anything other than that; for if I were then pride might take its place in my life and make me unaware of compassion! (The world's scam!)

·      I am unworthy.  If I felt anything other than this then contentment might takes its place in my life and I wouldn’t need to seek anything more than what I now have! (The world's game!)

·      I am unworthy.  If I felt anything other than this then peace may seep into my subconscious to ease my guilt and finally liberate my mind!  (The world's trap!)

This lifetime of unworthiness serves a purpose, the world tells me!

It keeps me aware of what I am. (The world's lie!!!)

But, lately something else is calling out to me

other than this sham called shame.

I’ve stopped for a moment to ponder that voice….

for it’s calling out my name!

Something in my innermost being tells me

 that to “surrender” is a way to begin.

 Truly, I’ve been waging this war for far too long

with my pride against my sin!

 My inner voice tells me to kneel to this commander

but I am unfamiliar and unaware;

I simply do not have knowledge of this chain-of-command

 and until now I didn’t care!

Who is this leader that inherently demands my respect?

 He is definitely someone more important than I.

I’m torn in two; I don’t want to care

 but my soul won’t let this slip by!

This Commander knows things on a grand scale-

 Bigger than I temporarily understand!  

Things beyond comprehension but not beyond apprehension-

 for my mind has begun to expand.

I’m aware that this unworthiness wants to leave me

but it is uncomfortable because I don’t deserve such release.

How do I let go of something

that inherently belongs to me?

I ponder this choice; can I find worthiness again?

I truly do not know the answer!

 But compassion tells me it is absolutely possible

 and so does this merciful Commander.

This world keeps telling me I am unworthy;

I am un-deserving, forevermore.

My mind agrees and tells me that I am unworthy

 but my soul tells me I am made for more.

I’ve made a choice! I am releasing this pain!

 It’s been haunting me enough in this lifetime!

 I do not want to because it feels like a friend

 but I think I’ve found a lifeline.   

Humanity tells me I don’t deserve a thing

but this Commander, God tells me I do. 

My soul has been given a second chance!

 My mindset has been made new. 

Somehow my spirit feels wide open

and I know that I am eternally well. 

My eyes look up into the heavenlies

to thank God whose leadership never fails.

“Believe a Lie”, the world tells us all….and the damned fall in line under its spell.

But with this new Commander, God I stand released and free

And my soul sings  “It is well”.

In Honor of T.T.

Quote from Song: 

"I don't have to be the old man inside of me

His days are long dead and gone!

Because I've got a new name…a new life

I'm not the same…..

and a hope that will carry me home!

I am Redeemed!

You've set me free"
