FREEDOM


The freedom in self-acceptance
      based on God’s acceptance of me
leads to the ability to rise above
      the insults and hurts
to love as God loves
      and be used to bring His love
to the world around me.
I can let go
      of the behavior patterns
I used to protect me
      because God is already protecting me.
Therefore, I can come out of my hiding place
      and run free
singing a song of victory
      as the Lord shows me
what He has next for me to do!
Each little piece, each little pattern
      I release
as God is lifting me up and out
      of the dark valley of insecurity
and showing me the beauty
      of the horizon of a life worth living
that glorifies Him
      as He helps me to bring good news
to set the captives free.
