Guilt and shame is of the enemy;
no God that loves you
and forgives you
would give you these emotions
that wreak havoc on the mind.
Realize what He did for you
on that cross on Calvary hill.
Recognize that He loved you
enough to live a blameless life
and die a painful death
for the sake of humanity.
Rise above the person
you were in the grip
of the enemy.
And let his grace descend
and make you a new creation
to be used for His glory
ever to fall into
the hold of a fallen angel.
The sin had strangled me,
left the marks on my eyes,
the blood and the wisdom,
challenged by the understanding
and afraid of myself.
What I’m become.
Where I’ve been.
What I don’t do.
The three poems that I have read so far has really spoken to me. Especially the first stanza of this poem. I have felt guilt and condemnation for my past but I know that is from the enemy. Jesus' blood has washed away my sin and has made me clean and new again.
