I’m sorry my friendThat you were hurt soBy someone who claims to know God For the true heart of GodIs loving and kindAnd compassionate to the downtrod There are always deceiversNot really believersWho pretend to be someone they’re not These wolves in sheep’s clothingHave always been with usThey don’t know the true ways of God To know the true GodYou must seek HimAnd be willing to open your heart He doesn’t condemnAnd He doesn’t controlTo receive or reject is your part For love’s not true loveIf you force itIt’s something that happens within His desire is for youTo come freelyAnd...

Empty Longing In my soul   Needing Something To be whole   Fleeting Feeling Comes and goes   Always Comes back I suppose   Simple Surrender I give up   I receive God’s Great love   Now I know What it was   I was Missing Holy love That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with...

I’m not the ugly things you say I don’t like what you call me I don’t enjoy your cruel touch Or the way that you defile me I’m screaming on the inside Please stop and let me go I don’t want to do these things I want to tell you NO!!!!! I’m not an object, thing or toy I am a human being I’m not some invented fantasy I hurt, I’ve got real feelings The only pleasure going on Is happening in your mind Just because I must obey Doesn’t mean it’s fine I’m longing for a gentle touch Not...
