Throwaway

Categories: Depression, Hope

I feel just like a throwaway
On my way to a landfill site
Nobody really cares for me
Nor recognises my sorry plight.

But God knows exactly who I am
Opens His arms of love
Offers a fresh beginning for me
Doesn’t want me to be disposed of.

I gratefully run into His arms
Where I now feel very safe
He gives me back a purpose in life
I am not a “waste of space.”

God assures me I am special
There is no one else like me
If I put my trust and hope in Him
He’ll transform me into who I should be.
