Now, here's a first in about 3 decades. I think my brother will be happy to know that I have finally tried my hand at poetry again.
The painting is an art class project that would have landed in the trash can had our teacher not managed to fix up the nose I had so badly messed up.
Imagine, if you will,
oh, just think for a moment
of a life without the masks
that we use to hide
all the pain inside.
How awesome to break away
from the facade
of success and drivenness
that won't afford us rest.
The fear of being caught out
as fake or imposter broken.
No longer a stronghold
have the wounds yet unspoken.
The enemy doesn't want us to heal.
He's come to destroy, kill and steal.
He tries to break us more
because once wholly healed,
we'll be a threat to his evil schemes.
He can't afford to have us share our story
of wonderous healing and breakthroughs
that bring God the glory.
But imagine the strength we could wield,
when our true selves are revealed.
No longer bound by chains of fear,
our hearts and minds crystal clear.
With courage, we face the dawn,
a new day where we're reborn.
In unity, we stand tall,
together, we won't fall.
No more hiding behind
"I'm F.I.N.E."
but fully embracing life
and abiding in the Vine.
For in our healing, we find might, a beacon shining in the night. The enemy's grip will fade away, as we embrace a brighter day
and new dimensions
of influence await.
Believe me if I tell you
that's entirely possible
because for me Christ has done just that
and He wants to do it for you too.
He'll break you free from ALL pain and shame
so you can feel His joy again.

This is the journey of becoming "real" ...
→ expressing who I am;
my own particular personality, temperament, gifts, etc.
→ real is what you become when you're loved
→ once you've become real you can't become unreal
→ it lasts forever
