This poem came to me one day when I was having a really hard time and wondering if the Lord really loved me.  To put it mildly, I was having a "pity party"!  Admittedly, I was in a lot of pain, things were very hard for us financially, and I really was starting to doubt.  These words the Lord gave me lifted me out of the mire and helped me to see that, no matter what the circumstances, all I had to do was reach out to Him, because He is there waiting for me to do just that.  I hope that these words will also encourage you in your times of trouble and despair.

OH, FOOLISH ONE

Oh, foolish one, don't you realise
Just what you mean to Me?
That's why I sent My only Son,
So that He could set you free.

Oh little one, why can't you see,
My arms are here for you?
And in your times of trouble,
I'll always see you through.

Oh precious one, reach out to Me,
For My love will never cease.
As you come into My presence
I will fill you with My peace.

Oh, special one, won't you turn to Me,
For I want to take your hand –
And when your foes are round about,
Together we'll make a stand.

My child, My child, cry out to Me,
For I will always hear your call –
I'll hold you safely in My arms
And I'll never let you fall.
