Advent Impressions: "A Way to Freedom"

 The word on streets declare

He has arrived in our hearts

With an announcement:

The Binder of the Brokenhearted

Has brought arms load of gifts  

Filled with healings.

Wounds in the heart?

He has come to heal those specifically.

Will they ever completely heal, you ask?

Will they leave a scar?

I've learned from experience,

When He arrives at times like this,

Embrace Him!

Welcome Him!

Cry...Laugh...Let your emotions out,

He'll listen to what you have to say.

He'll guide you on His ways of forgiveness,

Ways of reconciliation,

And satisfy the hunger in the depths of your belly.

Give Him a chance, just a chance,

He needs your acceptance

So He might heal your pain.


 Isaiah 61:1 (paraphrased)

Have you heard about this? People are talking about it. He has arrived to share Good News with the humble, the poor, and the afflicted. He has a specific concern for the brokenhearted with promises to bind up their festered wounds. He has a way of escape, a Way to Freedom, helping all those trapped in dark cells that can exchange their feelings of captivity and runfree in the brightness of the sun amidst fresh, open fields filled with an array of day lillies and beautiful wildflowers.
