From my childhood,
to this very day,
parents and husband,
have all betrayed me
and belittled me.

Thus never feeling worthy,
or ever being cherished.

I have sought Your Love
since my early years.

Yet, do I still settle
for less than Your All,
Your Will for me?

Teach my heart
to fully feel,
to fully know,
Your perfect Love.

Help me to expect
Your abundant Grace.

I want to know
and truly feel
a beloved child.

That I might ask
and recieve
that my cup runneth over.

So I come boldly
before Your Throne
as a beloved child,
asking You, my Holy Father,
that Your Perfect Will
overflow
in every area of my life.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Ooh Ellie, this touches my heart deep, and brings a tear to my eye.

It is amazing that through all this, you found the Lord, and you hold Him as dear as you do.

There's comfort in always knowing He will never betray us, never leave us, and Love us like No One else will.

God bless you Ellie. Hugs from God to His precious child.

I know not what the future holds,
but I know Who holds the future.

I don't question YOUR existance - GOD

He will lift you up, perform a good work in you, and these lines are so very special, as are the entire poem...

                                                "I want to know
                                                   and truly feel
                                                  a beloved child"

How they spoke to my heart this morning, thank you so much for this, you are loved by God and we, in our inperfection, should be singing His praises!!!

Ellie your poems touch my heart. I know they touch the heart of God even more so. You are loved. There is a friend who stays closer than a brother, and I believe you have found him. God bless.

How blessed you are that God is in your life and though everyone desert you, He never will. You are indeed His beloved child.

No one can fill the void... not parents, husband nor wife, not friends, nor any family member..... only Jesus.  I suppose that you have an advantage over many in your knowing a void exists in your life.  I also knew the void of family in my life, but after coming to Christ, He has made ways to fill the smaller voids in my life.  I am assured that God will do the same for you as you are filled with Him to overflowing as you have written.  Your faith in Him is such a blessing and testimony to me.
