Everyone has a story

My prayer is that
mine

Will bring God glory

 

She was given a
choice

Attempt to be a
mother

Kill the baby she
carries

Or give her to
another.

 

She chose the latter

By giving me to a
family

Who thought that I
mattered.

 

I was raised with
hope

Surrounded by love

Rooted in faith

Focused on the Lord
above.

 

I was born out of sin

But I was given a
chance

And transformed from
within

 

Depression,
selfishness and pain

Marked my years of
youth

Then He chose to call
my name

And I was transformed
by the Truth.

 

Consumed with His
fire

With the faith of a
child

Nothing else did I
acquire.

 

Beloved He claimed me

Though pain still
came

After all I live in a
world

Marked by shame.

 

Idols, loneliness,
pride,

Are just some of the

Things I try to hide.

 

Haunted by the
memories

Of what has, is and
yet to come

I listened to voice
of the butcher

And carried his lies
and then some.

 

But daily Christ
calls me

And I fall to His
feet

Walking in His mercy

It is sin that I
defeat.

 

Knit together with a
purpose

Fearfully and
wonderfully made

Don’t listen to the
lies of the world

You don’t have to be
afraid.

 

Christ’s love is
enough

Your burdens He will
bear

For it is by grace
through faith

Eternity with Christ
we will share.
