In the Comfort of a Stranger's Arms

janiselizabeth

in the comfort of a stranger's arms
and their unfamiliar bed
i would lay all of my vain desires
in sin that left me dead 
 
my temptations were engulfed in flames 
fuelled by an oedipus complex
the attention of men i did require
obtained in premarital sex
 
these passions ignited a smoking pyre
upon which i worshiped myself
sacrificing my inner child
who cried and screamed for help
 
until I touched a flame that did not burn 
but cleansed my broken heart 
it sanctified this temple and--
worked me over like a work of art 

the love of a Father, had now come to me
and said, -"you are not your own."
His Son lifted my burdens and my spirit
in the greatest love i have ever known

    He is magnificent!
    The greatest lover of all.

      Thank you. There is no better person to love you in the world than Jesus.

      Your words clearly detail the road to the subject's salvation or enlightenment. Beautifully expressed.

        Thank you. Some roads have more thorns than roses on them, but if it leads to Jesus, it is the road I want to be on.
