Be Still
Dear Son
I hear you scream out of desperation
I see the pain you're going through
I hear your cries of terror
I know the suffering you went through
I watched as your father hit you
I watched as the bullies humiliated you
I saw knew your suffering the day you were left an orphan
I felt your tears run down your cheeks
Did you see?
Did you know?
Did you hear?
Did you watch?
Did you feel?
Did you hear the voice of the mother I gave you who comforted you?
Did you know the bullies stopped because I sent a friend to stand up for you?
Did you watch when I gave you son-ship in a loving home?
Did you feel the son-ship I granted you in my family?
Did you see the healing I provided?
Why then do you cry to me?
Why do you ask for what I already gave you?
I gave you my son?
What more could I have given to prove that I love you?
Be still
Look around at the blessings you have
Don't look at what you don't have
Be still
And know
That I am God
Dear Daughter
I saw the beatings you took
I watched as you were crying on the floor of your room
I saw them scream at you and abuse you
I heard you call my name
I felt the depression and brokenness you felt
I felt the pain you felt of a family who scorned you and treated you like a dog
Did you watch?
Did you see?
Did you hear?
Did you feel?
Did you watch as I sent the neighbor to come check on you?
Did you watch as she took you in and cared for you?
Did you see healing I provided through the comfort of your friends?
Did you hear the uncle who cried with you and tried to be the father he couldn't?
Did you feel the grace and mercy I gave you?
Did you feel my love?
You called and I came
I love you
All this I did for you
Open your eyes to what you have
Count your blessings
Be still
And know
That I am God
