From Shame to Radiance
Shame.
I am ashamed.
For my wicked thoughts.
For my careless words.
For my selfish deeds.
For the decisions I have made.
I am ashamed.
For my wicked thoughts.
For my careless words.
For my selfish deeds.
For the decisions I have made.
I am ashamed.
I am ashamed of who I am.
I walk around with a heavy heart.
I face the ground because that seems easier than to face my fears.
I look past the people around me.
Never looking them in the eye, never staying, never opening up.
Because I am full of shame.
“I don’t deserve to breathe.
I don’t deserve to be here.
I don’t deserve to be alive.”
Your love follows me.
You sing over me.
You lighten up my path.
You stop me in my tracks.
You lift up my head.
I see my reflection in Your eyes.
You sing over me.
You lighten up my path.
You stop me in my tracks.
You lift up my head.
I see my reflection in Your eyes.
“Beautiful.
Loved.
Safe.
Free.
Free from shame.”
I look to You. I look to You.
My face is never covered in shame.
