I am Not Ashamed

(Who He Says I am Poem Series)

I am Not Ashamed

Why would I be ashamed

Of His Name

The One who transformed me

The One who spoke life into me

The One who truly knows me

The One who gave breath into my lungs and created me

The One who speaks to me

The One who seeks me

The One who gave me a new name

Why would I be ashamed

Of the Gospel

The very essence of His truth

The very presence of His Name

The power of His Blood

The power of His Love

The power of the Cross

The power of His Resurrection

The power of the Dove

The power of the Holy Spirit

The power of a transformed heart

The power of thanksgiving

The power of healing

The power of being set free

The power of Salvation

The power that sustains me

It’s a powerful Name

And His Name is Jesus

How can I be the Same

When I no longer carry this shame

When the Word of God is living in me

When His heart beats, my heart beats also

When I know who I am

When I’ve experienced His tangible love

When He comforted me when I was lonely

When He gave me courage when I was afraid

When He whispered to me that He is near

When He gave me strength when I was weak

When He gave me hope when I was about to give up

When He gave me grace to empower me

When His kindness melted my fear away

When His mercy brought me closer

When His love embraced me

When He brought me out of the darkness and into His light

So how can I be ashamed 

To carry His Name

When He is the best thing that could of ever happened to me

Secure in Him

Where do I find my Security?

In my job?

That I can lose

In my finances?

That can dwindle

In my career?

That can change

In my house?

That can be broken into

In my relationships?

That can break my heart

In my family?

That can hurt me

In my friends?

That can betray me

In my leaders?

That can let me down

Nothing in this world can bring security

Stability

Trust

But my God is not of this world

Yet He sent His Son to be in this world

To die and secure

A seat in Heaven for me

So I may walk in His Security

In His Love

In His Authority

When I’m Secure in Him

I will not be shaken

I will not fall

But I will Walk in His Call

If you feel insecure

Belittle

Lost

Broken

Exhausted

Fearful

Do not worry

You were never meant to Carry this burden

You placed your security in something that can be broken

But when you place your Security in Him

He will stamp a Seal on you than cannot be broken

You are now Set in His ways

For our Strength lies in Him

May we Rest in Him

Our Foundation

Our Stability

Our Security

Our Trust
