A Real Life, a Real Me…

Though my face may look pleasant to you, I am not a boy; I am a man. Though am merry and I speak words of courage and hope, there are times when I my spirit has been low, very low.

Tough I may seem strong to you, there are times when I’ve wished there is someone to hold me, someone to tell me “… it’s going to be alright!”

There are times when I’ve cried; there are times when I’ve been very sad; there are times when I been lonely, lonely with no one to talk to except the God and father I don’t see – he has really been their for me.

I have failed; I’ve been very disappointed and embarrassed; I have been betrayed, although you admire my faith. I have been very discouraged, abandoned and neglect, although today you see so many people around me, but God has been there with me through it all.

The Lord, my God, has been my teacher; he has taught me to be what you like about me – and I am still learning. The Lord has been my trainer: he has held my hands and taught them to do right; he has taught my brain how to think right – he has been there with me; he is my trainer.

Though I look young to you, yes my age is an age of young people, but look into my eyes, my experiences have taught me confidence – I am fearless, and am not shy to do or say right. Listen to my words; I have learnt from the best, my God. I have learnt from every opportunity, in every experience and so I speak wisdom and godly words.

I have foolishness, but I’ve been foolish many times; I hate ignorance, but ignorance is eternal – you can know everything, , but learn how to choose right from wrong, just from unjust, good from bad, righteous from evil, godly from ungodly.

I may seem very courageous to you, but the many discouragements I have had have taught me how to stay courageous and hopeful at all times. There are no walls in life is you put your hope in the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth.
