Free Hearts

Walking through the unknown at times

Surprises are welcomed-even enjoyed

Yet, sometimes scary, frightful thoughts

Bind up the heart

What do I do now?

Why did this happen?

Will everything be okay?

Of course! God has promised me!

And God cannot lie.

It is just me who questions

The “Why did this happen?”

And the, “How can this be allowed?”

I fret over the little things

Gripe and murmur about the hard

That’s not good! Hearts are heavy

Burdened by doubts and unbelief

God sees my moods

He hears my every thought

Can’t hide them from Him

Still the Grace! His wonderful Grace!

Oh! Where would we be without it?!

Tortured souls would be rampant

They are anyways-but only because

The tormented do not know

Their hearts can be free

Most of the time

They do not care to know

About His wonderful, life-giving

Guilt-smashing, mind-soothing Grace.

A free heart is a forgiven heart

Full of mercy, kindness, and love

The burdens have been lifted

He carries the load

I only have to obey His Word

Be forgiving as He is

When I can’t, I tell Him and repent

Then He takes the lead

Guides me to His Mercy Seat of Grace

And I am cleansed from all sin

A free heart is a clean heart

Holds no grudges, nor heavy feelings

Soft and ready to forgive

Giving Grace to the one who has hurt

The one that pierced the innocent’s heart

Scaring it beyond perceived hope

Crying tears of release for all now

Praying they will find this peace

In their own Salvation

A free heart is a loving entity

Which Grace has supplied

With the balm of peace

Questions have been answered

Fears relieved

Doubts replaced with quiet understanding

Immortal destinies are revealed

Hope is renewed

Hearts are free again.
