I once wallowed in apathy;
I once had feelings of being unworthy;
I once struggled with fathering failure;
I once, in anger, felt God had abandoned me;
Then, keloid memories of the childhood lesson,
In gracious spirituality, massaged my paining soul;
And with amazing divine wisdom and guidance,
I exercised the healing grace of the message
And was lessoned in the awareness taught:-
In renewed soul searching prayer,
I sought action to replace apathy,
And labors of love were found;
I asked for help in arriving
At belief in my self’s worthiness,
And it was profoundly given unto me;
I knocked on that door of determination,
It opened widely, ushering out failure
And ushered in faithful persistence:-
With forgiveness and supreme love,
God has never ever abandoned me;
It’s been me abandoning Him:-
And with forgiveness and supreme love,
God has eternalized within me, living faith
Energizing me in being an instrument of His love,
And a reflector of graciousness, in labors of His love:-
To God be the glory for forgiveness and divine liberation!
