June 12, 2018 Only Love...

Overcome with emotion, yet bound by fear. 

How did I get here? 

One moment in time changed everything.

One boy who pushed too hard.

One girl who lost her way.

One careless choice led to another, 

And only one stood beside her all along, keeping her from harm, 

While she built herself a wall of bitterness and stuffed down her pain. 

Two decades later, she comes up for air and finds forgiveness, 

Yet fear is still in charge.

How did I get here? 

How do I fix it? 

Only love can drive it out. 

Only love can crush bitterness into powder and blow it away in the winds of time.

Only love can conquer fear and replace it with courage.

Only love can heal so much brokenness…

And tear down my walls against the world. 

They were only meant to protect me, 

But it turns out they kept me from being who God designed me to be. 

They kept me from myself and from you. 


Only love…
