God inspired me to write something through someone else’s eyes and this what I came up with. We tend to look at things with our own vision. Sometimes we have to see what situations look like through someone else.
This was written while ministering to children in the slums of Kathmandu, Nepal.
A CHILD LOST IN THE RUBBLE
I’m locked up In a cage and no one can see me. Staying behind these bars, hoping one day that someone might free me.
Different people come to play throughout the year, claiming to know God and teach with cheer.
But I’m just sitting here wondering why I must suffer, just to play while God continues to buffer.
See I’m a child that is scared to death. With earthquakes and one pair of cloths, never knowing when I’ll take my last breath
My mom is absent and my dad on drugs. They claim they are doing the right things but the truth is they’re only thugs.
People come In through out the year to yell for me and cheer. Trying to win me for heaven so I’m not living in fear.
The truth is though I’m a young child living in the slums trying to keep myself from being a bum
I pray to this God sometimes to see what He will do, right now I’m not sure but I know He is true.
I pray that He returns one day to love me and cherish me in every way
Until then I’ll continue being a child. Trapped behind bars freed but with no say
I’ll have fun with these teams as they play and show me Jesus everyday.
God is real. I know it’s true, because even though I’m in the slums He loves me no different than you.
He sent his son to the cross to save my life and it doesn’t matter that I am going through strife.
So while I’m here I’ll just keep learning because though I’m sitting here in pain still hurting.
Jesus has me wrapped up in his arms and the world is still turning. And he promises to love me while I’m churning.
Paul had issues in a jail it’s true, but look how he turned out as a persecuted Jew.
He lead many to Jesus going through strife and even at one point lost a wife
God worked through him in a way that was unseen
He was turned into a blind man and then made clean.
God has a purpose for me, but the truth is I have yet to see.
What I do know is God is true. He set you free, Paul free, and he will set me free too.
This was an amazing blessing to write and I am thankful God layed it on my heart. We need to love these hurting people in the world, because the only time they see Jesus present is maybe while we are there.
I am at $11,124. I need to be at $16,200 by January to be completely paid off and continue this missionary journey all the way to end. Thank you for those who have supported me and have continued to pray for me.
