In a dark, broken world where anger and hatred abound, the cry of rejection resounds loudly in our ears. Where do we turn to find the love that our hearts long for?
The Cry of Rejection in a Dark Broken World
By Effie Darlene Barba
The sound of their words
What they had said
Repeatedly playing sad tunes in my head
The Scars from my past
The sorrows, regret
Like sirens whose blaring I could not forget
In darkness, alone
My heart’s cry does long
To desperately feel somewhere I belong
To know I am loved
To make my appeal
Rejection the thought that seemed all too real
It wasn’t their fault
How could they have known?
The scars I hid deep and never had shown
The secrets of heart
That longed to be found
That they might be healed by love to abound
The counterfeit lies
Were just a mistake
Like shattering glass my heart then to break
Oh, where is the truth
In a Dark, broken world
Where sorrows and pain are relentlessly hurled
The sin of man’s pride
Has taken its toll
Wreaking havoc on each and every dear soul
Yet, if truth be told
Beneath all our will
Is a void only God’s love could refill!
His Love reached beyond
The abyss we had crossed
He never considered it too great a cost
To accept rejection
Of man toward His Son
Who in His despair our victory was won!
Unworthy though I
He loved me the same
And called me as His by my very name
To be loved as His child
He is all that I need
In Him to be known and truly be freed
Freed from desires
Of counterfeit things
From trinkets and toys or frivolous flings
Grounded, secured
In God’s loving arms
Freed from the lure of all this world’s charms
As He draws me near
To sit for a while
Enwrapped with His joy, I truly can smile
My worries all fade
As in Him I belong
My heart can now sing a joyous love song
Only One Answer
There is only one answer: Jesus. Only He can heal all the pain and sorrow that lies within your heart. He stands with open arms and bids you come to Him.
