Christian Poetry: Embraced by His Presence

Agape Love…

Embraced, Overwhelmed, Captivated, are the only words I can utter as I fall to my knees.

Shame, Condemnation, Bitterness, and anger where once the very emotions that bound me to a perpetual abyss of depression

Depression and Hatred were the ways of my heart… But how is this possible? I feel… FREE

Am I in what they call denial?

Is this real?

Could it be why can’t I move? This feeling it is like no other, I am bound, embraced, and captivated by… by… by… Love!

I am on my knees, I am breathing heavy. Am I dying, wait no… it cannot be because I have no fear, I feel nothing but… but Love

I AM FREE!

As I begin to embrace the overwhelming presence of this Love, I begin to well up with tears.

As I tell myself no I am a man, I should not cry, it seems like I cannot help it.

For out of my eyes flows rivers of the most purest and clearest liquid I have ever seen, it is beautiful.

I cannot move, I cannot speak; I can only lie here, on the floor of my room weeping, but not a weep of sorrow.

For tomorrow is no longer ambivalent, I see, my eyes are open. I know who I am and why I am here, no longer shall I be a slave.

For I see, now embraced, overwhelmed, and captivated by this feeling… this… this presence,

I AM FREE

I really like this, the way in which the sentences flowed from one to the next felt as if I was taking this spiritual journey with you

This was a lovely poem. I could really identify with the tears as you described them. That is what happened to me when after long years of doubting if I was a Christian because I was not seeing the changes in my life that I was expeceing I finally just gave up and told God I could not take it any longer and had to know for sure. I began to cry the way you described and I have never since doubted that I am a child of the King.

I am blown away by this beautiful poem! This is so deep and emotional. Oh how God loves us! To be free of the slavery of sin is like no other freedom on earth. You have expressed the love of God so humbly , so precise.
