~ I Asked The Lord ~

As I say my prayers tonight,
I ask The Lord, why did He die for me,
My family who raised me,
 wishes I was never born
So I asked God
Why did he suffer for
an unwanted child at all.

This is what He said.
I can hear Him as if
 He was sitting on my bed,
"My Sweet Child, I am glad you came
If you were not born,
Nothing on earth would be the same.

I blessed you and the angels sang
The night you came into the world,
You are forever blessed
You have helped people
 you have touched
With your kindness,
 your words and your love.

You reached out to them.
Some may have never made it,
If you did not help everyone
 sent to you,
I am your God,
 and I am so proud
 of the things you do.

There is much beauty I put in your soul,
You see what I have created
You glory in nature.
You are like the butterfly,
 with the colors of the universe
Let your heart fly in the clouds,
 I will dry your eyes,
I gave you a reason, do not ask why.

Remember I loved you all of your days.
You will never fade away
I am Jesus, call My name.
I will always love you,
 I will never change".

So my prayer ended.
I gave a sigh, I do have a reason,
Our Lord told me why
I will treasure God's words,
When I asked, He took the time
To tell an unwanted woman,
 she is loved,
In God's own time.
