So often, in times of trial and tribulation, I find myself thinking that I am all alone and wondering if God really does love me as much as He has said in His Word.  The words to this poem came to me during such a time, and they filled me with an overpowering sense of reassurance, because they reminded me that He said that He loved me, so much so that He sent His only Son to lay down His life on the Cross to prove it and to set me free.  He said it, so it must be true, because my God cannot lie.  I hope that you, too, find some reassurance in these words that He gave me.
God bless you, and peace be with you.

MY PRECIOUS CHILD, I LOVE YOU

My precious child, I love you –
This is what I'd have you know:
As you walk each day along life's path,
I will never let you go.

I know the desires of your heart;
I hear you when you call.
I am always there beside you;
I will never let you fall.

So please don't get discouraged,
And don't give up the fight –
Just keep your eyes fixed on Me;
Let Me be your guiding light.

And in your times of trouble,
Come, shelter 'neath My wing,
And I will keep you safe from harm,
And cause your heart to sing.

Press onward into battle;
I have armed you with My Word –
I will always bring you safely through,
As you wield your two-edged sword.

So I repeat, don't be discouraged;
Just keep your eyes on Me,
And I will hold you in My arms –
My precious child, just wait and see.
