The Chains

I had wrestled with the demons in the darkness of the sea then God had mercy 
on my soul and softly spoke to me.
My heart had been trampled,my spirit lost in pain and bitterness overwhelmed 
me like a steady fallen rain.
Each new day seemed bleaker, hope hidden deep within, the demons that 
gnarled at me held me captive in their den.
The reflection in my mirror bore no  joy nor peace and I knew only God could put 
my heart at ease.
I tried to pray for wisdom, for strength to overcome but the chains from the 
demons had not been let undone.
Then God appeared to me one night and spoke as never before, telling me 
forgiveness would open my hearts' door.
Now the reflection in my mirror shows no lingering signs of pain because God 
wrestles with the demons and God undid the chains.
                                                                                  by Dixie George
