My Heart, Your Home – A Poem
My heart is a mansion
where Christ dwells
The parlor filled with
His mercy
The kitchen overflows with
His love
But in a back room
locked up tight
dwell fear, doubt,
and guilt
Sometimes late at night
they make their escape
Squatters wreaking havoc
throughout the house
My Savior has promised
to evict these intruders
by His Spirit—
not a spirit of timidity
but of power and of grace
“Be strong and courageous”
“Do not fear for I will not leave you
or forsake you”
“There is no condemnation in Me”
These are the promises
that restore harmony and hope
to the mansion that is my heart
