From the dungeon of abandonment it ruthlessly came
Gripping my heart with fear
Tormenting my mind
Poking holes in my soul
Why was I chained here
What is my crime
I must be ugly
Stupid
Unworthy
I just wish I could die
Then I heard His voice
I saw His torn bloody hands
And I cried
Help me Lord
Then He stooped way down
And lifted me up
He wrapped my shivering soul in His love
He calmed my fears
He healed my mind
And turned my loneliness to joy

I will never leave you nor forsake you

So, I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to describe myself to you, and these are the words jumping up and down in my heart: I'm just a simple human being living in a complicated, messed-up world. I speak my mind. I love hard. My feelings run deep. When push comes to shove, I stand my ground. Sometimes I push back. Sometimes I walk away. I've surfed the crashing waves of life that threatened to destroy me only to make me stronger. I bear the scars of emotional rape, sadness, and depression. I've walked the golden streets of churches and religion only to be disappointed time and time again. And as a result, it's taken me seventy-five years to get where I'm sitting today; a sinner saved by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ. I fell at the cross. I repented of my sins, and Jesus saved and washed me clean. I still fall flat on my face. I still get dirty as a pig in a mudhole. And Jesus still picks me up, dries my tears, forgives me again and again, and continues walking close beside me. No one has ever loved me like that. And no one ever will.
