Wounded Souls

by Joyce Crowe

Children come to me, Lord with bruises, scars, and despair. Injuries hide beneath the surface, Of which only you know the full extent.   I intercede for these precious jewels, Lord. I beg for your mercy and healing!   Their souls are bleeding deeply Their hearts are shattered. They are sent to me in hopes that the broken pieces can be mended.   Why must the most beautiful Of your creations, be so broken, Lord?   At birth, they knew no wrong. They had no fears, nor evil thoughts. They only had love and joy to give. Instead they received injury and abuse.   Souls so beautiful with love abounding, now scarred for life.  Why Lord, why?   These are the lucky ones, or are they? They survived.   But, will they heal? So much hopelessness and despair! The world has been so cruel and unfair.   Who am I Lord, but a wounded soul, myself. But yes, I have received healing and mercy.   So, I will entrust these wounded souls to you. In your hands, I know they are safe. In your hands they will know an unending love. In your hands, they can experience great joy.
