Our Personal Baggage

For parents aren’t perfect
They come with their baggage
May kids grow, self-examine
To avoid long-term damage.

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

When failing, we do wrong
Try to bury, in shame
Then, blame on another
While lies excuses, we proclaim.

And Modern Israel again
Of these words, must take heed
Yet likewise, on our journey
We too also, have need.

We’re challenged, on every side
Not crushed, tho’ hard-pressed
But thro’ Jesus, not despairing
Our Great Potter, knows best.

Denying, defending
Denouncing as true
Each weakness and failure
God points out to you?

For when tempted, God provides
A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure
So let us learn, avoid mistakes.

But in place of God’s lordship
Satan swiftly deceived
Appealed to their senses
Denied truths, God revealed.

Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.

Speak out for righteousness
Declare God’s Truth
Be a woman of valor
Be engaged, not aloof.
