You were born in the wilderness

Under the cover of darkness

With no shelter from the weather

 

You were raised by wolves

Who occasionally shared their scraps

But who also fed upon you

 

That you survived those years is a miracle

Or maybe it was destiny

Either way, the “civilized” world has never quite felt like home

 

You learned to adapt

And even to excel

But a full moon still stirs you in the middle of the night

 

We wanted to believe the scars meant that the wounds had closed up

And that your incredible strength would somehow keep you free

But now we know that the bleeding never really stopped on the inside

 

You’ve pressed further than most of us could have

But the pallor of death has begun to wash over your face

As the last drops of hope seemingly seep from your pores

 

You keep trying to remember to breathe

But because you don’t think of yourself as valuable

It doesn’t really seem to be all that important

 

Though you have often felt alone, there is One who has never left you

He’s watched you from afar

And occasionally you’ve caught glimpses of Him through the trees

 

He always knew that this day would come

And He made sure that you’d have what was needed to face it

And, indeed, you do

 

Call to Him

Surrender to Him

Reach for Him

 

He has a plan for you

A destination for your journey

And nothing from the past has the power to steal it

 

He will give you strength

But He will not make the decision

He will only take what you’re willing to put in His hands
