Into the Light

❤️

By Colleen WaltersPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

You can shake me

You can rake me

over your coals

You can make me

cry

But don't mistake me

for weak

Cause you can't break me

I was made to bend

I was made to speak

up

I was made to fight

back

I was made to look

deep

We are not all the same.

You can't make me sit down.

You can't make me shut up.

You can't even dim my Light

because you can't control me.

And you never will.

Amen .

“strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭11‬-‭12 NKJV
