There Is A Purpose For Childhood Pain

There Is A Purpose For Childhood Pain

From a young age, you bore a heavy weight
A secret pain that you could not relate
To anyone, not even those you loved
It seemed that all you had was stolen and shoved
 
But in the depths of your despair and hurt
A light shone through, though you could not yet assert
That God was there, holding you close
And He would never let you go, He knows
 
The scars you bear are deep and real
But God's love is deeper still
He took your pain and turned it around
To help others who might be bound
 
Now you stand as a shining light
A beacon of hope, burning bright
For all who suffer, just as you did
To show them that they too can rid

​Themselves of shame and guilt and fear
And know that God is always near
To heal and mend and make things new
And help them find their purpose too
 
Your story is not just one of pain
But also of hope and love, again
For in the midst of all that hurt
God was working, doing His work
 
So now you live with purpose clear
To help those who are still in fear
And show them that God's love is real
And He can turn their pain into something ideal.
