On How…and How Not To Be

How not to be free?

Clothe yourself

In regret.

Remember times past

As if they

Were happening

Right now.

Judging you,

Holding you back,

Counting you out...

Fierce whispers

Of accusation

From hapless folks

Content to

Pull you down

Into the murky mire

That is their

Sorry world

●●●

No.

The way

To be free

Lies in being

Unencumbered

Chains loosened

Worries lifted

Burdens lightened

Future beckoning

Oblivious to

Surroundings

Circumstances

And naysayers.

It shouts loudly

Glows in the light

So step forward

Raise your eyes

Hands and voice

To He who

Keeps no records

Conquered

Death and the grave

To boot!

What then

Is left to be

But saved...

Left to learn

But how to love...

“Lord, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive?

But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭130‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬ (YouVersion)
