Being an over-comer
Is different than healing
Forgiving is the secret
Narrow road to life
*
Forgiveness can come
When I see my own failure
Anger dissipates
*
I would like to disappear
And escape the human pain
I find there is no exit
I am powerless
*
No one can see this
My lot is to be alone
Overcoming doesn’t work
I’ve come to the end
Getting past the hard issues
False sense of nobility
*
This layer of bitterness
Can stay hidden in the church
These deep personal wounds
Cut me to the core
*
My soul is wounded
Spiritualizing the problem
Burying the grief
My soul wound has been hidden
Hiding behind the “false self”
*
I am not strong and noble
I do not have the resources
I can no longer overcome
I need to be free
*
It will take courage
To face the personal lies
With a mind that’s clear
With personal surrender
With patient love freedom’s born
*
The journey to authentic forgiveness undoubtedly is the most treacherous path of the human soul. “There is a difference in overcoming wounds and forgiving from the heart.” (Anonymous) I found in surrendering to real love, facing my own humiliating shame with a friend who knows and can point me to a love relationship larger than my “false nobility.” There is freedom I have longed for in this world. It is available to all who seek and discover the patience and love of the mysterious Creator of Life.
