the Lord Almighty taught me to carry my cross, joyfully and humbly,
and so i did.
my Father taught me best how to serve others---in shadows and with sinners.
He never asked me to step into the light, as He Himself stayed unseen.
to see is never to believe, but to believe is to see.
He taught me to pray for my "enemies," and so i did.
He taught me to trust in His plans, and so i do.
He taught me to never be glorified, to never bring oneself before others, and so i do.
to be created in His likeness is truly an honor.
to be His hands and knees on earth, when He dwells inside of me,
all of it is truly an honor.
child, why must you grieve me?
for whatever happens, it is His will carried out.
child, why must you have little faith?
for gideon has already defeated the midianites,
God has chosen the unlikely,
for Jesus Christ already overcame the world.
but this is not to provide false hope, as hope should be in Him.
faith in Him, and not in me, never in me.
nevertheless, thank you, child.
for standing with me, standing with Christ.
