a blank page
a canvas of future wonder
what can I say of the past
nothing
because it is what it should be
the past
the pain
the hurt
the abuse
the call
the wander
the return home
the beauty of forgiveness
the assurance of a new life
the peace in understanding the depths
of brokenness
and the lengths He will go to
to mend me
I'm not alone
I never have been
I don't understand it
I never will
until I see Him
until I see my true Daddy's face
all that's lost and in speculation
will be made bright and clear
two things I know
He is good
and He loves me
He also makes beauty from the brokenness
and this is where I rest
where I choose to forgive
yes, even forget
because I press on
towards the upward call of
God in Christ Jesus
and Christ Jesus in me
I forgive you
Yes I forgive you
because He forgave entirely
in this I am free
this blank page
a canvas of future wonder
it is here that I leave you
praying you will someday
choose the path
of a pure, blank page
of new life and forgiveness too
