What's In a NAME?

(a healing poem)I said, “I don’t really know her.”Truth is, I’ve known her too well.As we’ve spent all of our life together, occupying the same human shell.Abused and confused, not understanding what was wrong.Because it persisted for such a long time;Its power had become too strong.Neglected, rejected, abandoned and let down,By those who were to love me and always be around.This healing search began long ago; but, would have never begun with me.For I constantly ignored the one identity needed to successfully set me free.Tolerated, never celebrated; I’d hidden her within myselfFocusing all my attentions on pleasing everyone else.So, bad choice after bad choice, with each one lower she would descend.The abuse was like a vicious cycle, not seeming to have an end.Until all at once and that time is NOW, I’ve decided I’ve had ENOUGH!I’m tired of living life settling while the enemy’s enjoying my stuff.So, today I’m taking back my heart and I’m declaring out loud, “I am free!”And I’m resting untangled in my Saviors arm, who’s given me this victory.For I’d come to fear the process of “LOVE”, the giving unselfishly of self;Too afraid that I’d have nothing left if I shared my heart with someone else.Now I’ve given it over to Jesus, my heart is safe in His care.It’s being healed, mended and restored; new desires are being set in there.God’s revealing His plan of Love to me;He is enlightening my eyes, enabling me to see:“Love on the Highest Degree” was my prayer;But deep within my heart I thought I’d never get there.For so long I have walked around brokenThe words were kept silent, never spoken.My eyes are refocused now that the scales have come off andI have regained some semblance of hope.I peer out in the distance at what can now be; all the love that is readily available to meAnd I sigh deeply, as if in relief.This inner healing brings with it such peace.The LOVE OF GOD is truly amazing.It is so powerful, it has set me free.I’m now liberated and able to love againAnd the first recipient of that LOVE is ME!!!Debra P.
