Rock bottom is a terrible place to be,
It feels totally friendless,
Arrogance speaks words that want me dead,
His only message to me is failure,
Day and night his words cut deep into my soul,
Truth is replaced with put downs,
I wonder if God hears my pain?
Out of the carnage,
Left in Arrogance’s barrage of word vomit,
God helped me to emerge,
In the midst of wanting to die,
I heard God speak to me,
“My beloved child …..”
Instead of pleasing Arrogance,
My life is devoted completely to God,
When I was emerging into the light,
Arrogance still holds up a puny fist,
But he now wallows in his own vomit,
His life is pitiful, self centred,
Each day lived in misery,
My days are now full of possibility,
Given to me by God,
Truth is having its way,
God loves to bring hope to the broken,
My life daily witnesses to His care,
My first desire is to be with Him,
Arrogance walks with deep shame,
Now I can look Arrogance in the eye,
And, thank God for Truth.
