Vignettes: Embrace & I Love You

 



Embrace

I have found an embrace that ends the shame that settled over me

Like a clearing sky – the clouds of guilt have gone

Every slender grasping finger of shame

Has been removed from holding me

Captive no more

I have found an embrace that silences the voices of shame   -   Accusing me for years

I have heard the words of love that heal and comfort

I have been held tightly in the embrace of life

Light shining brightly, has exposed the darkness  -  And banished it from me

Freedom  -   Life

I am unashamed

For I have been embraced by God



I Love You!

Love is like a fire
Burning bright inside of me
I love you fiercely
Sometimes it hurts
 
So hot and huge at the start
And yet it grows and deepens
I did not know I could love like this
I have exceeded myself
 
You are becoming less mine and more your own
I couldn’t be more proud
My love still increases
The fierceness of it burns away my worries and concerns
And I am left with love
 
My love for you in unending
Ever-increasing
A deep abiding flame that lights my life
I love you son – Forever!

Levels of Healing - ? -

  I have recently gained new understanding of the process of healing from emotional wounding. I am passionate about the ability we all have to heal from trauma and deep pain. We need not be limited and defined by it forever. I have found that the process of healing is intentional and not merely a matter of time or “moving on”. To heal one must face the betrayal, trauma event or relationship that caused the pain and walk through the process of identifying the impact it had on them. One must grieve and be comforted.

I have found that it is possible to experience freedom from the anger, shame and deep sorrow that is often the result of trauma or deep emotional wounding. I have experienced my own journey of healing from physical and sexual abuse. I have also worked through relational tensions, betrayal and loss. In all these journeys I have experienced a kind of process that i...
