I have been set FREE!
I don’t have to perform anymore to be seen,
to be heard,
or to be accepted,
because
HE saw me,
HE heard me,
HE accepted me the moment
HE came to me and
lifted me out of the pit of shame,
from the pit of not good enough.
The moment JESUS saved me from myself.
I still can feel my being lifted out of the quicksand that was sucking me down,
further away from who I was born to be,
into deeper into who I thought I should be
~a better version of Joni,
a more lovable version of Joni,
because I believed that I was just not good enough.
But then JESUS told me~
“‘I love you, so ‘Come to ME’ as you are,
so I can transform you into who you were born to be~perfectly loved by Me.
Walk with me and I will show you how to live as one beloved by Me, as I
‘rejoice over you with singing and dancing’ (Zephaniah 3:17).
For I have created you.
You are MY workmanship
Now will you receive all who you were born to be~
All MINE?”
So I reached up and took the hand of the ONE whose hand was reaching down to me in the pit. I didn't have to clean up my act, because HE found me just as I was,
so HE could
Wipe off the dirt,
Wipe off the hurt,
&
Wipe off the lies and the pain~
with HIS blood,
that set me FREE.
Oh the day I looked up
just because JESUS was looking at me,
as HE was seeking me
while I was lost and searching.
I was found by the ONE who seeks the lost.
I am HIS Chosen.
"Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.
My chains are gone"
The chains, the imposters,
that I ran to day in and day out,
every time I listened to the lie
that I was not good enough,
through other's eyes and in my own eyes.
. Meanwhile, I was always enough in HIS eyes.
I am more than enough,
because HE is more enough as
HE Sees me. HE Hears me. HE Accepts me.
FREE to LIVE IN HIM~
FORGIVEN & FAVORED.
