His Favor Upon My Life

When I was born, I could have ended up
an orphan, or worse I could have been aborted,
but instead I was wanted, adopted by two wonderful
parents.
I could have been deformed and not doing well at all
but because of all the great doctors, treatments and 
advice during my young life, I managed to turn out
alright.
Though I still have many physical, mental issues to 
deal with, God has turned all my issues into stepping
stones... into something more.
His favor upon my life is akin to high waters bowling
me over with all their might.
Where I and others may see lack, I know that my Lord
God has got my back, for He fills me with His joy - a joy
that has no words to describe, and that which is 
unspeakable is on my inside.
One of my doctors said "you are diagnosed with depression,
but you look so happy?"  I told her I was blessed with the 
joy of the Lord despite what things might look like.
Not every day is easy for me either, but the more I tap 
into the Source which has never left me before I left my
Heavenly Father's Kingdom, and it has never left me since
I was born upon this earth...
I must never forget to be brave, because I had volunteered
to help the One and only Creator of all that is, and all that 
we see and don't see as of yet...
So if things on paper don't share what God says  then I must
take it on faith that I will do what I was sent down here
to do, and that my Lord will help me follow through - to remind
people that not everything is as it seems, and that our  Lord 
can use what appears to be weak to set the world on fire and
be used as quenching waters that devour thirsty shores.
