Brokenness

Posted on by Marla
 
Running through darkness with nowhere to go
Year after year chased by grief, shame, guilt and woe…
The mask of a smile is worn, through each and every mile…
Pain and hurt are buried, deep within your broken heart, cloaked by silence, you weep!
Shattered pieces of shame and guilt,
Lies continue in the house you’ve built, inside, where no one sees.
You think you’re safe, but actions tell all…
And so, you run away to avoid the wrecking ball…
Saved by grace, you know better, but still…
The hurt persists and cannot be healed…
Until…
Forgiveness flows from the shattered, battered soul…
Freedom can only come, as you surrender, and let it go!

Matthew 6:14 New King James Version “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”
 Psalm 34:18 New International Version – The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
