[FONT=Constantia, serif]Looking back on the years,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]I remember a pale, lifeless child.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]So broken down and tormented.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]Death was always in the back of her mind,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]never feeling the self-worth God had intended for her.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]As she grew, it seemed her world was falling apart,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]she knew of your love and promise[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]but never felt that she deserved it.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]So many times she drew the knife, taunting her body,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]in her mind she was ready to end it all.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]Hell, is the reason the knife never touched her fragile skin,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]she knew there was so much more to live for, [/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]even if she didn't see what it was yet.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]There was still this tiny bit of hope, [/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]a little ray of light in her life.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]It was her first night at youth,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]her friends were there, laughing and having fun.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]As awkward as she felt she put on her fake smile,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]and mingled in as if she had gone there for forever.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]She was the church goer, but not the believer.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]As she went she craved more...[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]more worship, more Bible lessons, more fellowship[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]she wanted it all, her heart began to light up.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]This is the love she heard about, the promise God made,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]and she wanted it, more then anything.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]One night, Jesus came knocking at her heart,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]and it was her turn, to open up and let him in.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]On bended knees, and flowing tears,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]she asked for forgiveness and professed her love.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]Giving her life to the LORD, to live for him.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]Looking back on the years,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]the lifeless child, has found self-worth.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]She has found her purpose in life, and never again.[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]Will she leave the side of God,[/FONT]
[FONT=Constantia, serif]for he is the one guiding her to Heaven.[/FONT]
