Your Attic

you just packed up another box

another? really?

it is not going to fit up there

there is too much up there already

too many boxes you've avoided forever

crammed into a space that won't hold anymore

so guess you are going to have to deal

guess you are going to have to face

all those hard things you've been putting off

guess you are going to have to do the work

to sort through, and dust off

it is hard to look it all in the eye

all those hardships and mistakes

all those hurts and pains

all that rejection and loss

but what is awesome

is that you are not in it alone

what is awesome,

is that God wants to go through it with you

and He will go at your pace

and He will help you see it through

and He knows it will not be easy

and that some of it will cripple you in the moment

but you'll get through

and you'll be so much better off

for shining light into your attic

and going through the boxes

you've made to store your wounds

sorting,

so you can keep the valuable lessons learned

and cleanse the spaces that keep you bruised

so you can pitch the boxes one by one

and be freed up from the "things you've done"

The lie is that He holds those over you...

the truth is that He is here to sort it through

to free you!

YOU ARE FORGIVEN IN LOVE

now let go
