Little One

Little One…
Hiding behind a smiling face…
Hurt, that no one sees…
They’d never guess in a million years, her heartaches and her tears
The silent pain she carries, is kept in the place, where only God, hears
Never to be revealed…
Never to be healed…
Hurt locked away, from day to day, so no one will ever know…
The battle scars from things gone wrong that can never be let go…
Companions they’ve become, a comfort, this dread and woe…
Then one night in a fit of despair, the crying will not end…
Grace comes to call and witnesses the smiling face as it falls…
Little One, surprised by this…suddenly realizes…what Lies have been telling her
No one cares, you poor, pitiful thing… can’t you see…it will only bring…
Pity and disgust if anyone should ever discover your secret pain…
Little One cries, “How long can this go on…? It’s too humiliating, too, debilitating…Won’t you help me get over this?”
Grace responds, “I thought you’d never ask!”
With forgiveness comes healing of the heart, new life and a brand new start…
Little One, smiles.
Now sincere, there’s no more pain and no more fear…
Hidden secrets have been revealed…
Now Little One is free!

2 Corinthians 12:9 New International Version (NIV) But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
