MY CHILD

Oh, my darling, why do you worry?

Do you not know that I have all of your tomorrows in my hand?

I have seen and created your past, your present, and your future.

Do not worry.

Oh, my beloved, why do you cry?

Do you not know that all your sorrows

Were placed upon my shoulders?

I left your worries and sorrows in the tomb

Where I defeated Death.

There is nothing I would not do for you, my beloved.

Why do you hide your face in shame?

I created you in my image; you are beautiful!

You have been made perfect

By the blood of the Lamb.

My love, you have no reason to be ashamed.

You are my beloved, and you are delightful

Just the way my hands created you.

Oh my child, do you not know just how beautiful you are?

When I look upon you, I see

A blameless and perfect creation.

My child, do you know that your Father is the

Creator of the Universe.

Do you know that God's One and Only Son was crucified

So that you may be made spotless and whole?
