I Am Your Child

I am your child

by Rebecca Lashua

I try so hard to please everyone when I know all I need to do is please you Lord.

I try so hard to be good to my friends and family and yet I forget about myself Lord.

I know you created me as your child and I forget to be nice to myself.

I know hurting myself is just like hurting you Lord. You’re my father and creator; it’s not fair to destroy what you have

given to me.

I feel so blessed to have this life you’ve given me. You gave your son so I may have life. Your love for me fills

my heart with joy.

I feel shame when I think of how I have treated this life you gave me. In my darkest hours I felt like giving up but only so I may meet you sooner in heaven.

Lord, I feel pain and I just want to be at peace with you,

by your side.

Lord, please help me find peace in this life so I may fill whatever plan you have for me.

Lord, please help me find happiness, peace and love through you. When I see you Lord, after my work here is done, wrap me in your arms and keep me near you always.
