Time to Arise From Self- Defeat and Oppression
by Tesse Wilson What's hurting you? What's eating you up on the inside? What is it that is sabotaging your progress? What is it that stands in the way of your success? It's something inside of you Self- destructive thoughts Wrong ways of thinking The limits you place upon yourself The negatives words you dwell on Rewinding painful memories in your mind Fearful thoughts about the future Living in the prison of the past Worried, confused Living with a wounded heart But masking a happy life Till you suddenly crumble under the pressure Those around you look in disbelief and ask why How could this happen to this seemingly happy Christian It's time to cry out to God For too long you pretended that you were strong You fake strength, happiness and peace You only mask a smile but you are broken and dejected inside You show a happy face you think everybody wants to see But if your pillow could speak it tell how many times it got soaked in your tears If your mirror could speak it would tell how many times you looked with disgust on yourself Only the discerning would see the broken pieces of your heart They would see a person weary from emotional and mental battles and struggles They would see that you have become a prey for the devil, our adversary They would see that you are oppressed Precious one! You are made in the image and likeness of God Valuable, unique and special Consider this; Many times God your loving Father tried to reach out to you In a song, He even sent someone But you were blinded and bound by fear, self pity, pride and mistrust You experienced abuse and betrayal You feel like you can no longer trust anyone Afraid that you will be misunderstood you suffer in silence Child of God it is time to arise from this place of pain Your Father wants to dry your tears, soothe your fears, and pour his strength into you Heal your hurts and make you whole He is near, he waits for you He would not force himself upon you You want prayer, but you also want A shoulder to cry on An ear to listen Arms to hold you Genuine concern for you A heart to love you unconditionally You want a true friend God can send someone, but remember God is all this and will be so much more to you Precious one! Jesus loves you Don't wait Throw yourself into his open arms Stay in his embrace Yield yourself to the Holy Spirit Let him complete his work in you You are the clay, He is the potter Rest assured you are in the best hands Wounded child, weary child, rest awhile You will stand, run and soar again You will do this and so much more But you must let God work in you Don't obstruct him, don't oppose him Surrender to him!
