BROKEN NO MORE

I am dipped in darkness, Broken, bound, and beat,
I stink of vices,
Choked up by lust,
Desires of my flesh cause me to die each day,
I say, “Just this one time, just a little more!”,
So, I battle day and night with my former self,
Unable to put off my old life,
I can’t say NO to my first lover; sin!
Do you see me?
The shackles that hold me down are inborn and deep,
Clawing deeper into me daily,
Though, I cast them off,
I still feel its grip and yearning within my veins,
The void it created, too deep I feel consumed,
The Emptiness sing my name,
I long to be filled with something,
Anything but this darkness,
Fill me up with something please.

Today I made up my mind to accept the light,
Because in Him, old things are passed away and all things become new, (2 Cor. 5:17)
And so, dear darkness, today you have lost the battle over me,
The void you created within me now flows with rivers of living water, (John 7:38)
And flesh has lost its hold on me for it is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me, (Gal 2:20)
So, I conform not to the pattern of this world, (Rom 12:2)
But am eagerly transformed by the renewing of my mind, (Rom 12:2)
And now I can boldly attest to the good, pleasing and perfect will of God for my life. (Rom 12:2)
Behold I am anew.

STAY SHINING!!
