Joy brings gratitude
It helps you shift your attitude
Your walk a thin line
With your cynicism
Sometimes it’s blind protection
There are no missiles
Coming your way
Just launching from your direction
The very thing you’re afraid never happens
But you are left with shame
I never meant to be so cold
I let my past take ahold
My past happened
But the present is getting ignored
And my future is at risk of a lack of joy
Just like every human I want peace
Is there to grab
But I treat like a toy
This object of my attention can be replaced
The GIJoe is lost and the Barbie’s head is missing
My innocence is lost
God, please forgive me
Truth and destiny… deliver me

Poignant words there, Carly. I’ve really been thinking a lot lately about grabbing a hold of all that God has got for me and not allowing the enemy to rob me of the joy & peace that belongs to me.

Sometimes I find myself being less thankful to god than I should. But really being intentionally grateful is a sure way out of almost any snare. I’ve heard complaining is to the devil what prayer is to God.
So thanks for the timely reminder to be grateful, intentionally 👍🏻
