THE DELIVERER
Daddy where are you? Why did you leave us? Why did you hurt mommy?
My tummy hurts because I am so hungry and the sores on
my legs hurt from being
so cold and the bugs keep biting at me. I feel so all alone, oh
I am so scared, mommy wake up, mommy please. The days turn into
months and
months turn into years. The hurt and rejections only grow stronger.
As I begin to grow up the other kids treat me different
why?
because I don’t
have nice clothes like them, or have a daddy, and because my mommy is
a drug addict. Why do I feel it’s my fault? What did I do to
deserve this kind of life? I am a human being too. I have feelings
and need to
be loved too. I hurt like every one else.
We need money to eat, but I can’t work because I’m not old
enough. And my momma tries real hard but she’s addicted to the demons
of drugs and alcohol. I have to help her cause she is sick and daddy left
us long ago. So I have to get us some food. Momma cries a lot and the drugs
and alcohol make her do things that she shouldn’t do. The policeman
knows me because he has to come and get me when they catch me taking food
for me and my momma. But he let’s me go again because he feels
bad for me.
I am older now and they say I have an attitude. Don’t’ know
what they talking about. Just leave me alone! I have to protect my self
cause no one else will. I’m not letting anyone hurt me no more.
I Just met my mama, said she’s been praying for me since I was a baby and
has wanted to see me since I was born but my momma wouldn’t let her,
cause what her son did to us.. Said she loves me. What is love? Well she
can pray all
she wants because I want nothing to do with her GOD or her Church.
My friends and me got our ways to get what we need. I’m smoking dope and
drinking now cause that hole is still inside of me, trying dark things others
say is bad and they are right demons are real, gotto get away from em, I got
me a woman, she gets around and makes money in ways that others say is wrong
but she gives me what I need. I do my own way and I don’t need anyone telling
me how to run my life. So what’s I end up in jail a few nights.
My ways of life has now landed me in prison, said I killed a man, but I
don’t
remember. There are many fights in this hell hole, and now I am in two prisons
not just one. The one inside of me is worse though that the one with metal bars.
Been 6 years now and got a letter from my woman finally told me she had my baby
and her is 6 now, she is living with my mama. Mama has been writing to me saying
all this stuff about this JESUS and how HE wants to save me and set me free.
Said her son, my Daddy has come home and he is a changed man, said he cries for
what he did to me and my momma and wants me to forgive him. Too much to deal
with! A kid, a mama preaching to me, a daddy I never knew wants to meet me and
to forgive him. How dare them, How dare him! I hate him! I will never forgive
him, the pain and torment inside of me is getting worse. I can’t take it
any more, I want to hurt someone, I want to die! I fall to my knees, I can’t
stand the torment and the pain, what is love? What is forgiveness? Oh GOD
if YOU are real then help me! If YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST IS REAL like my mama
says
then please help me, forgive me, come into my life, my heart and wash me
clean, set me free from this hell!
What is this strange feeling? Where are the tormenting demons? where is
my pain? The heavy weight around me is gone. I have never felt this way
before.
I feel
a warmth in this cold cell, a clean-ness, a peace and joy inside of me.
That hole I had inside is now filled, and it’s JESUS WHO was the missing piece.
Whose loving, gentle, strong arms are around me? What is this liquid streaming
down my face? Tears? My mama was right JESUS YOU ARE REAL! YOUR LOVE HAS SET
ME FREE! how can their be freedom & joy in tears? JESUS YOUR BLOOD has
broken the curses off of my life, mama you were right, thank you. I want
to see my dad,
I forgive you dad, and my little girl oh how I want to hold you, mama thank
you for praying for me all these years and never giving up on me. Thank you
GOD for
loving me while I was still a sinner and setting me free from all my sins.
Thank you for giving me a new life and allowing me to be FREE while still
IN PRISON.
I am no longer in a prison inside myself even though I have to live in a
prison with metal bars. YOU are THE DELIVERER.
Dear little boy all grown up, I ask that you would forgive us, your brothers
and sisters of a different color, who have mistreated you, and treated
you and your Nationality with disrespect, dishonoring you, hurting you,
and even murdering
you.. I ask for your forgiveness upon our Nation, upon our race for the
years of this treatment to you. You are my brother and I ask to covenant
with you to
forever and to walk with you side by side as an equal. Thank you my brother.
For GOD (YAHVEH) has created us ALL EQUAL. You are my brother and my friend.
Please let us start a new this day. LET US BOTH LET GO OF ALL PAST HURTS
AND PAIN, for you are my brother and my friend.
