Son of my flesh,
It is My blood that runs through you.
It is My breath that gives you life.
It is My hand that leads you.
I have not led you out of captivity to be held in the trap of fear.
I have given you power, boldness and courage.
I have given you a sound mind
Reach out. Do you see? The trap is just an illusion. It’s not real.
Begin to stand up. Stretch out your arms and legs. Stretch out your muscles. Stand strong for I am the one that fortifies you.
Fear lurks and slithers around like a snake. Take your foot and smash it!
I give you freedom and joy. Live in it.
The Shepherd's Embrace
