Shame

I have come across a lot of people who are tormented by the monstrous effects of sexual abuse.  It affects their marriages, their relationships, their self worth, their every day living.   I wrote this poem for them. As they get into God's presence, healing will come. It is a process to walk out, but don't lose hope.  One cannot be so full of the Healer Himself and still carry the guilt and shame of the past... 

Turn away

Hide your face

Disgusted by

His embrace

Dirty, used

Lack of worth

Filthy memories

Rebirthed

Flood of guilt

From the past

How long will

This torment last?

My very presence

Is your need

It’s with Me

You’ll be freed

In drawing close

Worth is found

Hope of a life

No longer bound

Release to Me

The inner pain

I’ll strip away

The cloak of shame

Wash you clean

Erase the lies

To see yourself

Thru My eyes
