I wrote this poem and want to dedicate it to every man and woman that was ever a result of an unplanned pregnancy. Whether you were the child, the man or the woman that is facing an unplanned pregnancy. God wants you to know that you were not a mistake and nor is the child that has been created from an unplanned pregnancy. From my heart to yours…….
I am the child that has been called a mistake,
One that was born out a torn and broken relationship.
One that was birthed but aborted from the cares of life,
That ripped at her heart because of her struggle to be a mother and not yet a wife,
One that was conceived out of rape or molestation.
A child labeled a mistake-nurtured by the hand of devastation.
But then he came to restore and to heal,
Then to reveal,
That he too knew what it was like to be conceived
Out of mistrust and disbelief,
Born by the virgin Mary
A man forsaken and stricken with grief,
That we might understand
His love and perfect plan, that before he created the earth,
He also knew the day of your birth,
Before the stars had been sprinkled into the sky,
Before the planets were hung and set into space,
Before the waters covered the deep,
Before your father and mother came face to face,
You were conceived in his mind,
And delivered at the right time,
NOT A MISTAKE
But a daybreak
With every member of your body recorded in his book
Before they were formed
With every hair numbered on your head,
For he even knew the way you would look,
And yet to say you are a mistake
Is to imply that God was confused.
For when he made you, he made you in his image
To be valued and NOT ABUSED!!!!
May the love of God invade your life as you press pass every obstacle that would make you question your existence. May your heart be turned to the one that created you.
Psalms 139
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
