21st Century Deliverance, by Leslie Shaw Holzmann

The house looked good, it was a Christian home

But, the foundation was built without insight or understanding

The sands of presumption and spiritual pride eroded it

My children became the victims of my ignorance

While loved and trusted, the man’s greedy acts visibly gouged their young

spirits

I was hopeless and alone

My emotions imprisoned by unfair treatment and bitterness

I cried out to God for help

He snatched me out of Satan’s trap

God said, “I will inspire you with My Word and establish you with my love.

Remove the debris one piece at a time making space for my incredible grace”.

This poem is dedicated to my daughters, Nanci and Leanne.  Their love, tenacity, grace and wisdom continue to inspire and bless me!
