She was waiting
for someone
to save her
Walked around
with a nagging pain
in her heart
She was never free
to love or
be loved
A life of ups
and downs
Sinking deeper daily
to a place of
no return
She never tasted
the depth of
Papa’s love
Pain and despair
followed her everywhere
She tried to fill
the void in her heart
With whatever
the enemy sent
her way
No one saw
behind her smile
Though her eyes
told a story
of a life
drenched in pain
She gave away her power
to anyone who noticed her
Allowed broken people
to define her
Allowed the enemy
to write her life’s story
While she kept quiet
She disappeared in
the background
Voiceless!
Hopeless!
Faithless!
She never knew her worth
Surrounded by hurting people
She embraced the identity
they chose for her
She took all these negative labels
She made it hers
Walked with her scars
She played the part
Of a nameless, faceless, worthless daughter
Till she ran into Love
and
Love ran into her
Alone and rejected
Your love
drew her in
To places she never visited
Places where Your daughters
discover their worth
Where You heal our hearts
and erase our pain
Where we discover the depth
and width of Your love
Forever changed when we
encounter Your heart
We are forever changed
when we know how much
we are loved
Soaking in Your presence
was a life line to her
You healed her heart
Your love dispels all her fears
You showed her the gifts and
talents You graced her with
She blossomed before Your eyes
Into the fearless, set apart bride
You have marked her for
Oh! Papa is head over heels in
love with her!
The girl with the issues
The shy girl
hiding in the background
Is no more!
She is boldly taking her place
as His end time bride
Forever changed
The day she ran into Love
and
Love ran into her.
