"Stuck" Poem By: Ellen Hopson


For the ones who feel “stuck”:
in a harmful situation
or living with a label over your life you didn't ask for
or not feeling like you’re living your purpose
or complacent to what you might be worth, and is it worth it?

He pulled me out of a slimy pit
and set my feet upon a Rock
He gave me Beauty for ashes
Joy for mourning and Praise for heaviness
A new Song in my heart and a Crown upon my head
He. gave. me. LIFE

The lie is that you’re stuck.
There is One who came and died for you to be Free
It is for freedom that Christ has set you free.
Your part is simple believe and receive what He is offering.
It’s your choice to accept or deny-- but a gift freely given, why not try?

Why not step into a life of true Love and Peace
I’m not saying it’ll all be easy but it worked for me.
I needed a savior, I was stuck--
you see I was covered by darkness, hopeless.
Until a glimmer, a shimmer of light appeared,
and suddenly made me able to see things more clear.
I wasn’t actually stuck, but thought I was
I accepted the gift and now I live for Love

So you need some help? everyone does!
Reach out to someone you can tell is filled with Love.
You don’t have to live stuck, but at least now you know--
Your life is mostly a choice of how it will go.

p.s. There might be some change required: He accepts you “as is” but won’t leave you “as is”.

Love Declaration

Image
Recently I read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. This is a pretty familiar passage of scripture for many people, often read at weddings because it talks about and helps define love. As I read it this time, it hit my heart. It brought some tears to my eyes as I felt conviction- the sweet correction of Lord to come back to this perfect standard. That this is the way to live free, and to live in Him. I slowly took a look over the verses and wrote a declarative version to help myself unpack what the Lord was inviting me into- this way of Love. This is meant to be a "declaration" meaning the reader is meant to speak aloud- to hear themselves say the words and agree with themselves. Our words hold power, and faith comes through hearing. I invite you to read and agree with these words for yourselves, if you dare 😉

Open Hands

Open hands To freely give      but Lord, what if they take too much? I will provide. I will supply. Open hands To freely receive      but Lord, what if it's too much to carry? I will be your help. I will tell you when to let go of things. Every good gift is from Above.      What a treasure that it often moves through our hands.
