Petro is a little boy who most would call a wild animal like child. With no real authority figures he mostly roams the streets and gets into trouble. the street gang of teenagers beats up on him and the adults around give him beer… is is 8 years old. Blind in his left eye, without any gentleness or love… he isnt sure what to do with himself… but the Lord has blessed me by bringing him to our childrens program in the afternoons. The first day, he made his way to my hand and walked with me the entire way. What does he need… LOVE… love that is consistent. My heart has been totally broken over this little boy. Here is a poem I wrote about him after weeping in prayer that the Lord consume his life. Please pray for him…
Petro
everything you know
tells you to fight
the world rejects you
a new day awaits to harm you
fear and darkness creep its way in
handed to you by the people you want to trust
but deep inside it hides
your zeal for life
you are desperate for love
believing it can be unconditional
come
come
hold my hand
let me guide you
believe
believe
embrace me and know that
i love you
trust
trust
hide behind me
i will protect you
run
run
away from darkness
into light
life
life
a life so precious, so important
a life i was sent to see
come
come
my child and be consumed
with love, hope, life
