From Bound to Free

Recently, someone called me “insecure”—

and for a fleeting moment,
my spirit flinched.

Not because the word fit,
but because it echoed
something I once trusted him to hold gently.

See, when we first crossed paths,
I was still stitching myself together—
learning the weight of my worth,
untangling rejection from identity,
trying to believe I was enough
without asking permission.

And isn’t it something—
how people will weaponize
the very wounds you trusted them with?

But patterns…
they linger like unfinished prayers
until you let God close the door completely.

Still, there’s something unsettling
about a grown man
mocking a chapter
God already delivered me from.

That kind of smallness
doesn’t touch my worth—
but it does reveal his.

I felt the tension rise,
a lethal response forming on my tongue,
but disappointment…
sent me higher and shifted my posture.

Straight to the Upper Room.

And there,
in that quiet sacred place,
God whispered both clarity and correction:

Everything doesn’t deserve your voice.
Everything doesn’t require your energy.

Silence—
when ordained—
is not weakness.
It is authority.

Because when God renews your mind,
you don’t defend healed places.
You don’t argue with versions
of who you used to be.

Insecurity doesn’t answer roll call
when it’s been evicted.

So why entertain interruptions
sent to:
kill your purpose,
steal your joy,
and disturb your peace?

No—
access to those vulnerable places has been revoked.

Because when God heals a wound,
He doesn’t leave breadcrumbs
for you to find your way back to it.

There is no spinning the block

No revisiting graves where I was once abandoned and left for dead.

God, I thank you for what was meant to break me…

became the very place
you rebuilt me!

And now?

The door is closed.
The lesson is learned.
The healing is final.

Access denied.

Baby, ain’t nothing “insecure”
about this “internal” glow!

Broken Covenant

Once upon a time— I wanted to believe something was real so desperately that I silenced the Spirit within me just to keep the illusion alive. I saw every red flag— not as warnings, but as tests of how much I was willing to endure to feel chosen. I asked no questions because truth was already whispering, and I feared what obedience would cost me. So I made a covenant with denial— calling lies “grace,” and confusion “patience,” because the truth felt too vast, too holy, too disruptive to the future I had built in my mind. I clung to potential like it was promise, and mistook absence for peace. Yet the weight of it— this thing I called love— crushed my spirit daily. Still, desperation dressed itself as loyalty and convinced me to stay. And it didn’t get better. It decayed. Quietly at first… then unmistakably. Each time God unveiled truth, I chose the comfort of shadows over the calling of light. I pleaded. I prayed. I begged— not for revelation, but for permission to remain where I w...

From Chaos to Calm

After a while… the need to be heard at full volume begins to dissolve. The rooftops grow silent. The flames you once fed with trembling hands no longer feel like power— only exhaustion. What you burned never built a home. And somewhere along the way, you realize— not every echo returns, not every seed takes root, not every mountain was yours to climb. The grace you poured out like water in a desert, the love you offered with open, unguarded hands— it did not come back the way you imagined. And still… you are here. So instead of fighting what refuses to bend, you loosen your grip. Not in defeat— but in awakening. You release the need to be answered, to be chosen, to be understood by those who never learned your language. Your hands, once reaching outward, begin to rise— not in desperation, but in devotion. Upward. Open. Steady. God… I see You now in the quiet I once avoided. I hear You not in the thunder— but in the space where my striving used to live. And I am ready. Something within ...

Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)

What unsettles me most about some people is not the harm they cause— but the silence that follows it. No conviction. No trembling. No evidence that a soul was ever stirred. As if something sacred once lived there… and quietly left. What remains is form without fire. A body that breathes, but does not feel . A Walking corpse. Spiritually vacant, yet socially skilled— fluent in imitation, but foreign to truth. They move through people like weather— touching everything, anchoring nowhere. I once mistook that emptiness for mystery. Confused detachment with depth. Thought restraint was discipline, when it was really disconnection. But there was no rootedness in him— only appetite. An endless hunger dressed as desire. A man grazing on bodies, scrolling through souls like they were disposable moments. Not searching. Not building. Just consuming— to quiet something unnamed within him. Unhealed wounds don’t stay still. They wander. From bed to bed, from face to face, from high ...
