I did not believe or understand, really
That love heals all.
Love made me vulnerable and hurt
Sometimes, it hurt so bad.
But, You have shone me
What true Love is
It is not a shield to protect from hurt.
It’s an ointment, that when applied
It makes something extraordinary and
Even priceless out of it.
It builds capacity and ability to continue on
It gives me “Beauty for ashes”
When I receive Your Perfect Love
It casts out all fear
Just as You taught me.
True Love is outside of myself
Until I receive it for myself
Having no expectation of what
It should look like, apart from You
Lover of my Soul.
You led the way when
You took the biggest hurt
For my sake.
The scars that remain
On Your hands and feet
Are beautiful reminders
Of love healing all.
And the scars I bear have
Beautified my soul and my life.
While on this earth
Hurt and pain will be present
But True Love changes everything.
And directs my steps
Through all this wilderness
Leaving a path for others to follow.
Thank you for reading.
