Note: This is written from experience and dedicated to everyone who can relate - and especially to those who love God with all their heart, mind and soul, but have been classed as outcasts or backsliders for not bowing down to a church and/or man's agenda... Know that God loves you with ALL that He is; no matter how 'man' insists on treating you and judging you... You are loved, wanted AND APPROVED of...

~ Chained ~
It started when she was little
~ the haunting and the pain
~ the ridicule and the rejection
~ the accusations and the shame
It carried on into her teen years
bringing with it paranoia and dread
it haunted her continually
~ becoming accusations in her head
It came in the form of jealousy
through intimidation and oppression
bringing her to her knees
~ restraining her with insecurity and depression
She looked for help beyond herself
reaching out to authority and to peer
but such were the hearts that feared her spirit
they simply sought to increase her fear
She did not see her value
all she saw was a woman of no worth
and she became what the voices claimed she was
~ a useless piece of dirt
Broken, fallen and alone
there was nowhere else to turn to but God
He came and met her in the gutter
and offered her His love
He wiped her tears and held her close
He dusted her off and set her back on her feet
but then they came ~ the voices again
from the non-believer and the redeemed
Rejected and restrained now
~ even in her Father's House
she returned to her private little world
filled with further doubt
All she ever wanted
~ what she longed for deep down in her soul
was just to be accepted for who she was
and to share her newfound hope
Life went on and she remained alone
in more ways than the world could see
but she shared the love, given by God
despite her insecurity
From time to time she still struggles
~ she often has to fight the voices on her own
but she knows love, because she knows her God
and He will see her home
(This photo is by my beautiful friend and fellow Aussie Danka... When I saw it in her albums recently, I wept... for, to me, this looked like the gateway to Heaven, and through it I felt God's hands and love reach out to me... I love it! I love Him! And, Danka, I love you... )
