You found her in the background
Alone, away from light
She chose to dwell
She felt at home here
Amongst her kind of people
She could blend in, disappear
in the background
Growth was not expected
of her here
She could be mediocre
Like the rest of the crowd
With her mask on her face
She could hold on to her past
and never discover the joy of
a heart set free
She could play her part and
never discover how brave
she really is
She could be one with her
pain and fears, clinging to
dead things
And never discover
her strength within
Curiosity got a hold of her
She wondered what lay
behind the depths of her
constant fears
Is there really a peace that surpasses all understanding?
A place where faith comes alive
in our lives?
And hope the heartbeat of a life hidden in Christ?
She decided to break away
from everything familiar
Was there a reason the enemy
did everything in his power to
keep her here?
She was surely created to push
past the boundaries, the norm
The stop signs erected by
her own fears
She embarked on a journey
That would forever change her life
Scared at first but Faith took over the further she walked
Voices called her to turn around
Begging her to be her old self
For how could she
the talk of the town
Discover her purpose, her identity
The Love of her life
Daily she embraces Papa’s
plans for her
He created her to visit unknown territories
To swim in the open seas
Together they eliminate every enemy that once caged her
Her healing was just a heartbeat away
It was not hidden in flawed
human beings
Papa’s love held the key to
her heart
Her past a vague memory
She is so in love with her King
The One who pursued her
When she was a mess
He never gave up on her
He held on to her when every demon in hell came for her
Today she understands the
purpose of her pain
The enemy meant to harm her
but Papa turned it around for
her good
Papa did it for her…
He will do it for you!
