What happens [if] a child grows up not knowing

         how much they were loved…

             [if] they were emotionally abused growing up…

      [if] that child believed the lies that they were told…

And [if] their parents didn't know nobody knew it…

   And [if] that child could hide their struggles so well…

       for years

            that [if]  

                 something. 

                     didn't.

                        change,

                          the family would be

                        down one member…
                        
                     because

                   one child thought

                 they would be better off

               if they were never born—

             a non-existant
     
          zero.

And [if] there were a way to healing…

            …[if] that way, was

                      The Way,
   
                              The Truth,

                                   The Life.

And what [if] that child found a way,

and learned The Way is Jesus.

And [if] that child, through Christ alone,

     found out

          that being one…

               was not a mistake after all…

          that being one

     is better than a

non-existant zero.

Because Jesus

left the ninety-nine

to find the lost one,

and not a zero.

 

And what [if] that child grew up…

and their "what [if]s" were more than just "what [if]s"

but realities

*[if] only I were loved.

Reality.

*[if] only I knew I was valued.

Reality.

*[if] only my past brokeness could be redeemed.

Reality.

*[if] only there were a God.

Reality.

*[if] only I could know Him, and He could know me.

Reality.

*[if] only I were created for a purpose,
greater than I could imagine.

Reality.

*[if] only I were equipped to take
the Gospel to the nations

Reality.

…………………………..

[if] only I could change the world.

11 countries in 11 months.

[if] God provided me with $14,300

through the love & support of a community.

REALITY.

I may be Dan²

But one² is still one, and not a zero.
