God's Divine Grace

God's Divine Grace
​by Angelena Vernon

Under my facade I wore a fictitious smile
I acted like a jokester for a while
From my outward behavior people though I was fine
Apart from joking many things were on my mind
When I mingled with people in a crowd
I played with words until they laughed out loud
Even with a good sense of humor
 My views were scrambled to a degree
Until I distance myself and focused on me
I had to deal with my emotional anguish and fears
All the issues and secrets I held in for years
The unforgiveness and bitterness I hid in my heart
The lies that were spoken that tore me apart
The arrows that were shot which pierced my soul
The desire to be healthy healed and made whole
When emotional wounds are inflicted by those you love
Only God’s grace can heal you from above
A broken wounded spirit only God can mend
After malicious words are spoken to offend
Only God’s grace can comfort and heal
The issues we hide compress and conceal

Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.
God is the only one who can heal our pains and comfort us in sorrow.
For he is Jehovah Rapha that heals us physically mentally and spiritually.
