He Saved Me!

Submitted on Oct 14, 2025 by  AhmazinAshley

I sat in the dark some days

Intentionally keeping the sun out

Being ripped Apart from the inside out

Starting with my mind

Flowing down to my heart

The enemy is tricky

That's where he starts

Filling my mind with lies

As I Believe everything whispered in my spirit

I crumbled some more

He yelled at me every chance he got

He broke me some more

I wasn't living up to his expectations

I cried some more

Spread false accusations about me

I isolated myself some more

Made me feel unworthy

I was stripped some more

Made me hate my existence

I died some more

And as the thoughts grew stronger

I died some more, and some more

And some more, and some more

I screamed in tears

Questioned God

I wept some more

On the inside, my spirit was broken into pieces

On the outside, I masked it, very well

With a hyper cheerful personality

Faked my way through

But, I saw the light one day

The sun started to peak through my windows

The strength of it pierced through my walls

God filled my heart with his spirit

I breathed again

He pulled me up out of the grave

He wiped every tear

He touched my heart

He showed me a different way

He gave me his armor

He gave me his strength

He gave me visions I still see today

He Saved Me! HE SAVED ME!

The 15 Year Old Me

With a New Diagnoses

And Newly divorced parents

He Saved Me!

The girl that struggled with her identity

He Saved Me!

The girl he sent to College

He Saved Me!

The girl that graduated with a Masters

He Saved Me!

The girl with three kids,

Who are free from HIV

He Saved Me!

The girl who's Married

He Saved Me!

He Saved Me Yesterday

He Saved Me Last Week

He Saved Last Month

He is saving me right now!

He Restored My Soul

You ever felt like all of you

Was going to break into pieces?

like you're about to explode?

Like you ready to Run Away?

End it all, Maybe?

Like You had nowhere to turn to?

Yeah! I been there too.

But I lived, moment by moment

Piece by Piece

I like Rainbows

God Smiling at me

So I smile some more

The Rain cleanses me

I smile some more

My son tells me how beautiful I am

I smile more

I have a baby girl

I smile some more

My 1 year old follows me wherever I go

He Saved My Life

So I Smile Some More

 

John 8:12 Jesus Spoke to the People once more and said, "I am the light of the World. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life."
