Forgiveness

"Forgiveness is giving up all hope of having had a different past." Anne Lamott

She left his house feeling nothing
Only the shame on her lips
Complicating her life with alcohol and indiscretion
Slowly losing the faith she had to gain that empty something



She liked feeling like she had her life together
With money, men, nice clothes, and material
When reality hit, it left her life in pieces
That is when she cried out to Jesus



One heated moment
With the fire in his eyes
Slowing falling with him together
That one solitary night



Morning came
She said hello to regret
When she awoke to find
The one who "loved"her had left






She liked feeling like she had her life together
With money, men, nice clothes, and material
When reality hit, it left her life in pieces
That is when she cried out to Jesus







The rain came from the sky and her eyes
She was a walking contradiction when she examined her "faith" and her life
Surely, she thought, if this is the "good" life: my partying career
Why do I feel so empty inside, when His voice I can hear

Hypocrisy dies when we shed our masks and become real
Weakness is shown when we give in to what we feel
Strength is found in Salvation alone
Because when we stand with Jesus
We stand strong
