I was a prisoner

of my own making

chained in sin.

The chains that

had me bound were

fear and torment.

Generational curses

held me close,

they were my bosom buddies,

anger and unforgiveness

kept choking out the

light of day.

Darkness filled my

empty soul.

I had no will to live,

and tried to end it all.

The Master divinely

intervened, He said

my child come to me

I love you, let me

take care of you.

I turned from Him

and vehemently I wept

trying still to end it all.

He firmly, yet lovingly

intervened and held

me close.

He would not let me go.

He then kept me through

the long dark nights, and took

me into His presence.

Giving to me His word,

to feed my hungry starving

soul. His presence satisfied

the parched and thirstiness

of my soul.

Then I got it, yes I got it!

He transformed me into His

vessel,

giving to me a new

perspective.

He revealed to me

His purpose, unvieling

the treasures within, to share

with others to bring glory

and honor to His name.

Yes I now have a new

perspective, and that is

that my life is no longer mine.

Instead it is hidden

in Jesus Christ!

to do the will of the Father.
