I'm not huge on poetry but I wrote this a couple of years ago after I went through a huge test of my faith. I may have failed the test in some ways but God's love has a way of running into me wherever I go.
The weight of failure presses on my shoulders
My crimes leave stains on my skin
Heavy laden with regret
Discoloration…nothing pristine anymore
I feel something like a magnet
Drawing my emotions to a realm unseen
A hope mixed with sadness and joy
I remember how much I love You
All You’ve done to love me
Pressure turns into an embrace
My skin dissolves as my spirit becomes material before my eyes
Restored.
Renewed.
It’s not about me.
I remember You.
This mirror has reminded me…
