My Heart

I saw my heart tonight in a dream.

It was tattered and worn.

So much pain and hurt filled it overflowing.

I watched in horror as sin pored from it

turning everything it touched to ash.

I wept bitterly as each minute my heart

became more consumed with the hurt

and it begin to wither

like a flower left without water.

It seemed the end for me!

Suddenly I saw a hand reach out

and gently pick my heart up.

It turned my heart over

pouring out all the hurt and pain

Then the hand pulled my heart close.

I looked up to see Jesus

placing my heart against his own

. His tears fell and ran down

mixing with my tears as our hearts united.

His perfect heart renewed mine,

and filled it with living water.

I saw my heart become beautiful and pure.

 

I laughed out loud

as Jesus held me close.

He whispered " My child

I have given you a heart after my own heart.

Pure and filled with living water

that it shall never thirst again.
Every part of me rejoiced.

Joy filled me overflowing

as living waters flooded my soul.

I was finally healed
Thank you JESUS!!!!!

Yes..affirmation of forgiveness. It is interesting to see in your writing the penitent heart. When one becomes self aware of their own sin....and...grasp the distaste of it, and be repulsed by it...then they have taken that first step to forgiveness. "he loves a broken heart and a contrite spirit". Beautifully done...and even more...an example for someone to follow you may be reading it. Well done!

I'm not real big into religion but this is a powerful poem and well written. Great job, there were some spelling errors but that might have been what you meant to do.
