Unrecognizable

I’m so glad you found me when you did.

Any sooner and you may not have recognized me.

Would you believe me if I told you thoughts of taking away the precious gift of life once plagued my mind?

Or that rage hot like lava ran through my veins?

Or that I harbored unforgiveness so bitter that it began to dissipate my heart?

Or that I was a slave to a lust so unhinged that it took me even in my sleep?

The mind you love so much, at one point only craved and produced darkness.

I’m glad you found me when you did, any sooner and you may not have recognized me.

I abused my body as if it were my own. Giving it hoping to receive fullness in that cross shaped hole in my soul.

Oh my soul. It was once so empty that my cries for a savior would echo off its walls.

But Glory to God one of those echos bounced right up to the gates of Heaven.

Because then I met Him. He stabilized me in the midst of the fiery arrows.

Placing his finger to my forehead marking me as His.

Now I’m unrecognizable.
