Victims become vagabonds
until they choose
to stop running and face
what needs to be faced in their lives.
I've been running my whole life, Lord,
and Your love draws me home
to change that.
Love takes victims and vagabonds
and changes them into
settled down members
of a new household where
they are loved enough...
to feel safe enough...
to stop running from life
and take their place in the world.

Love can do that, can't it? I am so grateful for the love of my husband and dear friends. They truly have shown me the love of God. Love heals.

Yes it can. Yes it does, Denise. It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?
