This Soul Knew NO Shame

This soul knew no shame... when it was a child and dreams, so vivid and wild, flowed uninhibited and free.
This soul knew no shame... in the days of old when all it cared about was playing and frolicking.
This soul was brought down... by society and thoughts of inhibition, caution, and fear.
This soul was guarded... by guilt, distrust, and thoughts of inadequacy.

As the papers which contained the pent up suggestions of failure and shortcomings burned in a flash, so too was burned the self installed barrier of inadequacy. No longer a slave to the thoughts of my self-destructive mind. No longer bound to the rules of the devil and his mind tricks. Given humanity in my bones, sure i will falter, but with Christ in my soul, I will overcome and flourish. So as the papers burned along with the self inflicted label, "inadequacy" vanishes and i am free to now be willing and able.

This soul is free... by the power of love.
No one tells me who to be
Except my God above.
No one tells me who to be.
I am accounted for and free.

1 Corinthians 4:3-5 (New International Version)

3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
