TO BREAK THE CONSTRAINTS OF SILENCE (Sandy Warner)
Deep within the recesses of every man's soul,
Is the yearning for acceptance, to be made whole.
Buried among the years of lingering echoes,
Behind a wall of pain are stories no one knows.
Some are long forgotten, dead and quite buried.
Others are frozen in hearts numbed from caring.
Some press beneath the surface ready to explode.
Others embed inside, journeying to implode.
I have cried over the hearts of My people,
Limping through their lives of enshrined, secret lull.
Their hush over pain is crying for release,
As bodies are decaying in secret disease.
Let Me wash the shrouded tombs of your souls.
I long to touch You, to make you whole.
I long to hold you in My warm embrace,
That you no longer suffer silent disgrace.
When I draw close and bring your pain to the surface,
Know your Master Surgeon is there for a purpose.
Lean on Me in the pain that you feel.
Trust Me in your stories that are so real.
Share them in the safety of a private place,
Expecting My touch as you reveal your face.
Trust Me that betrayal will not touch you.
As you feel exposed and fragile too.
And when you are laid bare for another to see
What you have walked through in history,
I will wash your wounds that have traveled so far,
With My salve of love and favor over old scars.
You will find that when your story is washed clean,
Freedom to share it for another's self esteem
Will loose and set free, healing their own dignity,
From their silent stories entombed in self pity.
It is in the sharing that I bring healing,
And you will know the layers are done peeling
When it no longer hurts to share the old places
For the sake of love to touch another's disgraces.
For all you have walked through will be redeemed
With power, to bring others My favor esteemed.
Rejoice that I will give your story life to heal,
As others sup at your table and taste your meal.
Matt 9:12-13 NLT
When he heard this, Jesus replied, "Healthy people don't need a doctor —
sick people do." Then he added, "Now go and learn the meaning of this
Scripture: 'I want you to be merciful; I don't want your sacrifices.' For I
have come to call sinners, not those who think they are already good
enough."
3 John 2 NKJV
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as
your soul prospers.
