Lord when I was just a tender young kid I cry for my Dad…
“Lord when I was just a tender young kid I cry for my Dad when I was abused by the hands of my step family, every time they took advantage of me I cried, my Dad wasn't around to comfort me. Lord as I grew and became a young man I became angry and lash out at my abusers with venom. Lord now that I am a older wiser person, I can see that you took the place of my Dad, I became a child of the most high God. Lord I saw how you dealt with the people who abuse me as a child, you punish my abusers in a way that I had to turn around and beg you to forgive them, you prove to me that I do belong to you. Lord now I see how you used all the punishment that my step family dish out to me as a kid, all my mistakes, my trials that I went through as a youth, I know now that you were preparing me to be the man who I am today. Lord thank you for blessing me and my family in a way that all my seed may never have to beg for bread again!!”
