A Soul Set Free

I am a soul set free.
I was drowning, and He heard my helpless cries from the depths of defeat and disappointment.
He applied mercy to my misery.
He rescued and received me.
I am a soul set free.
He patiently pursued me and stood me up, disregarding my self-condemning spirit.
He pardoned me and marked my debt as paid.
Now, my heart beats in reverence for the Holy One.
I am a soul set free.
In the darkness, I rest contentedly in His care with anticipation and delight.
I stand on guard with eyes gazing forward to the Light.
His Word is my hope, my healing, my heartbeat.
I am a soul set free.
He has broken away chains of bondage.
He has delivered me from destruction’s claws.
I will abide in the Almighty who is my Security, my Stay, my Salvation.

This reflection on Psalm 130 was written to share with She Reads Truth.
Amen . Simply . Amen
🙂
What poetic writing! Found you on #shereadstruth and love that we are indeed souls set free. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by Claire! I love She Reads Truth. 🙂
I don’t normally wax quite so poetic on my blog, but when I started to write this post, it just poured out in stanzas…
Beautiful, just beautiful–it is very late here in Arkansas but I am coming back when I have time to bask in the beauty of the words. Thanks you!
Sweet dreams, Elizabeth. It’s late here in Florida, too. I think you are my cue to go to bed. 🙂
Beautifully written, and so God inspired…..definitely a modern day David’s cry out and praise……and definitely an AMEN to that Lyli….bless you and thank you…..x
I love your poetic reflections of this Psalm, beautiful!
Got your link from SRT as well! 🙂 Your reflection is beautiful! 🙂
Beautiful! Absolutely love what you did with this. Thanks for sharing (from a fellow sister at SRT).
Yes! A soul set free! He’s so good!
Thank you Jesus for setting my soul free!!
That is so beautiful!!! God is so good!
Simply beautiful.
Love.
“Now, my heart beats in reverence for the Holy One.” This has to be my favorite line. Your God-breathed post touched my soul this morning. Thank you for sharing what’s written on your heart with us.
Beautiful!
Thank God He applied Mercy to my misery…beautiful
I am so thankful.
Love. Beautiful.
“He applied mercy to my misery.” I LOVED this line. This was very beautifully written 🙂
Love this, Lyli! I adore that you wrote a poem in response to the Psalm. This part especially resonated: “He applied mercy to my misery. He rescued and received me.” Amen!
Sweet freedom! He is so good to us.
Excited about the #shereadstruth app and prayerful for you and the SRT crew! Thanks for serving us so faithfully and sharing your hearts so openly each day. xoxo
Oh yes, whom the Son has set free is free indeed. Thank you!
I love that verse from John 8, Barbie! I’ve adopted it as the theme verse for an online Bible study I am leading.
This is such a beautiful reflection of all God our Savior has truly set us free from. Thank you for this.
Thank you for sharing! Beautiful words…
Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Love you, Lyli.
<3
Others have said it, and I completely agree – absolutely beautiful. Such a gift of words you’ve shared with us all.
Beautiful Lyli. Thank you for sharing.
Freedom has been such a recurring theme for me the past two years, so this resonates with me, Lyli. I love the photo you matched with this, too. Moving.
I feel the freedom in your writing. I taste the celebration. I see the unchained hands. I hear the gates swing open. I smell the freshness of a clean slate. And I, too, am set free. Thank you for these beautiful words.
beautiful truth
rejoicing with you in your freedom!
What beautiful, triumphant words as we yet bask in the glow of Easter-tide. Thank you for linking with Unforced Rhythms, Lyli!
He so uses you to bless me…. these words…beautiful to my soul!
