I wrote this poem when I finally realized that I was being my worse enemy. I was the one choosing to allow the enemy to hold me hostage. As soon as I made that realization, I made a big turn about and decided that even with all my doubts, I would step out in faith and put my trust in an Unseen God. He held me up then and He is still holding me up now.
I have been set free.
I have scaled the barbed wired fence
That surrounded the prison of my own making.
Tattered clothes are now restored
With new clothes.
Which Jesus has offered.
Set free.
Brought through the Refiner’s Fire.
Years of burning now ended.
Hesitantly I test the ground beneath my feet,
For all I knew was my prison cell.
Set free.
Obedience and constant acknowledgement,
This is now my new way of life
Following my Savior only,
So that I may always remain,
Set free.

I am a Christian who believes in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I also believe that Jesus will soon return to this earth.
If the Caterpillar can undergo a transformation, going from crawling to flying we too should be capable of accomplishing much more. We just have to attach our wings in the right place. The Caterpillar uses the Milk Weed as its host, its source for food. We too have a "Host" and He also provides us with an abundance of food. If we would use the fuel from this food (scripture) effectively, we too would be able to fly. Our "Minds" can be freed from all burdens and stress.
We can more easily be lifted up when we allow God to be our Host. He would continually feed us. God through His word can teach us how to fly...if only in our thoughts, if only in our minds.
