What Happened?
I used to know my God long before our stars crossed. In my youth, I sought and found God’s goodness revealed in His unwavering promises. I remembered the quiet moments when I prayed and listened for His voice. He was always there in silence. His voice was like a soothing lullaby. Everything will be alright.
Every childhood hope and dream He answered. Not born of nobility, my dreams were to scale my own native land until I arrived on foreign soil. I came to America with only $500 and a pocket filled with hope. It was God’s providence and His love that sustained me. He nestled me close to His bosom until I got stronger. I forgot what it was like to be held in safety and security because I began to believe in the lies that it was only through my own efforts that I made it. God receded into the background. He was there but He became only an idea. I was lost.
