Reality of my life
By: Rev. David Josef Lovejoy, Ph.D.
I have planted a seed,
so I know what hope is.
I’ve seen a sunrise,
so I know what beauty is.
I’ve seen an eagle fly,
so I know what freedom is.
I’ve been abused,
so I know what hatred is.
I’ve been kicked around,
so I know what rejection is.
I’ve been betrayed,
so I know what abandonment is.
I’ve lived on the street,
so I know what survival is.
I’ve hurt others,
so I know what wrong is.
I’ve lost a child,
so I know what pain is.
I’ve been to prison,
so I know what hell is.
I’ve served my time,
so I know what punishment is.
I have faced my problems,
so I know what reality is.
I have survived all this,
So I know what the power of God is.
I have put my faith in Christ,
So I know what salvation is.
I have given my life to Jesus,
So I know what Victory is!
