Ever known someone who thought they were an unwanted soul?
To be loved and cherished was their ultimate goal?
What they only became was deflected, dejected and rejected.
When deep down inside they yearned to feel protected.
And although they put on a sour, “I don’t care” face…
Using harmful words to put people in their “place”…
Somewhere in the regions of their hearts,
was this longing desire to be a part…
Of your world, of your life.
But their words always came out causing strife.
Dear rejected, dejected soul, we can’t read your signals that you’re throwing our way.
What your heart wants and what your words say, one another they betray.
But there is Someone who knows your heart and sees your your true mind.
He says, “You’re not unwanted by me. Leave that negativity behind.”
“No longer do the waves of your mind have to be tossed to and fro.”
“For I will give you peace and I will give you rest and so you can grow.”
A New Life

This part: “But their words always came out causing strife. Dear rejected, dejected soul, we can’t read your signals that you’re throwing our way. What your heart wants and what your words say, one another they betray.”
It is just what happens.
When I was a teacher, I had in mind to write a book: “I Have This Kid.” So many kids raising ruckus in the classroom. So many kids boiling, roiling inside, like a volcano ready to bust. So many home lives I knew nothing about. But I knew there were reasons. Things these kids just didn’t know how to control or deal with. So many hurts.

Yes! And and so many times those kids become old men who come off scruff and harsh but deep down they want to be loved as much as when they were kiddos

It’s tough to be in this situation and be joyful about it and keep focused on the Lord but I’m trying. ❤

That was me. My entire teenage years. Not a great place to be…but God! I thank God every day for chasing after me with longing embrace. No better place to be than accepted in His arms.
This is a beautiful piece, as usual, Amy.
