Luke 12:5-7 “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one
of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are
all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
“Sparrow”
“Surely, I am not special”
An easy thought to conjure after they branded you,
left a mark,
poured sand you still carry in your arms, and chest, and throat,
then left
carelessly, and easily,
tiring, anchoring, and shattering you.
Foolish to think they would have wanted you,
impossible to think that you’ll fly again.
I promise that your time is coming - His course is set.
Rest your wearied heart
Build strength from the sand
You are not forgotten, or lost.
His breath will lift your wings,
and you will be with Him,
whole and home.
