Hello, nobody. I finally came to the realization that nobody reads this silly thing. So I thought I'd say hello to them. I was stupid for thinking it would do any good in the first place. Goodbye.

The Becoming
Today is my first day. Today I taste my first fresh air. Today I feel my first sunlight. What will my future hold? Scared, excited, apprehensive. Will I reach great heights, or will I fall short? Only the Lord knows. “Lord, whatever I am to be, I leave in your hands. “
Time passes. Seasons come and seasons go. I reach. I stretch. I grow. I strive to become the best that I can be. I do not know what I and meant to be, but I know the Lord knows. “Lord, help to grow and become exactly what you will for me to be.”
“Ouch!” Pain. “Ouch. Ouch!” More pain. My time has come. This is the day I start to be what I am meant to be. Will I work in the Lord’s house? Oh wouldn’t that be great. Maybe I am meant for the courts of kings. Just think of all I would see there. Perhaps I will work in craftsman’s shop, where food is earned with sweat and muscle. That would be fine too, nothing wrong with good, hard work. “Ouch!” I know it is necessary to be shaped and molded. But why does becoming have to hurt so much? “Lord, help me to endure the pain of being shaped into what I am meant to be.”
What was that? What did they say? Did they say I was meant for THAT? No, they couldn’t have. I can’t be meant for THAT. Anything but THAT! I know it is necessary for some to become THAT, but... but not me? There must be some mistake! I heard right. I am to become THAT. Sigh. “Lord, this is not what I wanted, but I put myself into your hands.”
Oh no. Not HIM! Anyone but HIM! It is bad enough that I have to be THAT, but do I have to be THAT for HIM?! “Dear Lord, please not THAT – not HIM!” It would be better to be sent to the flames. It would be better that I had never been. “Dear Lord, NO!!! WHY??!!”…
I hear a reply: “My child, be at peace. I know you do not understand, but I do. I created you for this very moment. I created the seed from which you sprang. I caused it to fall on fertile soil. I sent sunlight and rain in good measure to make you grow big and strong. From the Beginning I planned this. Your faith honors me. You allowed me to make you whatever I willed. I know you don’t understand this now, but just trust in me. Today you are a thing of pain, torture and death, but tomorrow you will be a thing of beauty for all time.”
I am the Lord’s. “Lord, I do not understand, but I trust in you.” Today I am the Cross of Calvary. Tomorrow I will be a symbol of peach and love for the entire world. “Lord, give me the strength to endure today.”
