Unveiling My True Identity

-


Some time ago, I always broke down

Because I listened to the wrong person.

I let someone who had lost his identity

Tell me a lie about my identity,

Dragging me into his mess.


I withdrew from a lot of people.

I gave in to all types of emotions.

Depression came knocking,

And so did strange thoughts.

I cried in secret.

Yes, I did,

And I came out with a bold and daring face,

Not wanting to smile at the world

Because I didn't see a need to.

And when I smiled,

99% of the time it was fake.


But that's not my story anymore.

Someone found me

And told me my identity,

And He can help you too.

Maybe your situation is worse than mine,

Similar to mine,

Or less than mine,

But it's all the same.

Let's fight the enemy together.

Let's guard our hearts together.

I believe you can come out of your pain,

And you can heal too,

Because I did.

God Can Never Be Man

 Being hurt by the ones created in His image, Going through traumatic experiences, Pains and flashes of terrible pasts, Unpleasant memories...all from His image, But God Can Never Be Man! We need to differentiate these entities. When they were expected to be present, When they were present yet nonchalant, When we preferred their absence, When their presence births fear and anxiety, Though His image, God Can Never Be Man! That's why He filled everywhere with His lovely presence. When we had to reserve our fears to avoid being misunderstood, When we had to filter out words to avoid being attacked, When we had to talk to our pillows and diaries, When being transparent is a sign of weakness, Though His image, God Can Never Be Man! Come boldly to the throne of mercy! When we were abused physically, When insults are tossed around as if they were harmless, When it's accepted as to lack self-control towards another sexually, When His images have so much scarred us, God Can Never Be Man...

Travelling back to the time of creation, When man was created, And God came down in the cool of the day, To spend time with man. Oh! What joy! What partnership! What intimacy! Oh!? Will it last? Will this continue to be? Will this be our forever after? Here comes the serpent; There goes Eve's listening ears, Oh, Eve, if you break the hedge, the serpent will bite! Where's Adam? Oh, here he comes to save...No! He fell with her...sadly. That which was forbidden, The only fruit forbidden, The only law given, Has now been broken. Adam! Adam! Where are you? Here goes the couple running and hiding in the bush. Oh, what tragedy! That intimacy has been cut short by disobedience. Now they are being sent away from the presence, NO MORE! NEVER AGAIN! NO MORE! Will God come down to spend time with man? A rare friendship has ended. So...I thought. Can there be a light at the end of the tunnel? Can there be a source, a way, a means to go back to fellowship? To intimate with the one who create...

Wandering for so long with nowhere to call home. Wandering for years with no one to call family. Born into slavery. Born into fear. Born into the orphanage. Walking down the dark aisle one day, in fear and tears... I saw a light! Shocked because light isn't what we normally see. I had heard how people saw a light one day and were taken away from this horrible place, and I always thought they were lucky. Facing the light, I didn't know whether to run or scream. But then, I felt different. New emotions emerged: life, love, hope, peace, ownership. What was this light? As I took a step forward, it moved closer too! I eagerly desired to touch it, and I could feel its warmth. When I got close enough, I couldn't move anymore. The light reflected on my garment, revealing the chains that bound me, the stains on my clothes, and the beings holding the chains. Wanting to step back, a hand stretched out from the light, and a gentle voice whispered, 'Come now, let's reason togeth...
