Redemption

(A lone voice whispers) 

Haunted by demons

Judged by the religious

I walk the path of the righteous

For God doesn't just treasure those loyal churchgoers

He really seeks those broken 

Words reflecting a powerful theme of redemption. 

Showing a struggle between human judgment and divine grace. 

Suggesting that true faith lives in the broken and the seeking, not in the flawless.

For when the religious crowd judges you. They rely on outer rules and clean facades.

For they miss the inner battle and inner Demons.

As you carry past scars and deep struggles. 

Feeling haunted by mistakes or doubts

But still courageously try to walk the Path of the Righteous.

Still trying to do what is right. Walking forward despite the pain.

For with Divine Grace. 

God values the broken heart. 

He wants those searching for healing over those who think they are already whole.

Overcome by Pride. 

For pretending to be perfect blocks true growth. 

And admitting your flaws opens the door to grace.

For overcoming Shame. Demons lose their power when brought into the light.

 Seeking salvation is an act of courage, not weakness.

For true Righteousness is not a badge of honour.

 It is a daily choice to turn toward God while broken.

Blessed be.
