I was thrust into your arms at my birth. You have been my God from the moment I was born. – Psalm 22:10(NLT)
SINCE BIRTH
A poem and essay by ILMA
You claimed me as your child from the day I was born
You walked me through life and now I am grown
You have been my one true God since birth
You allowed me to experience both pain and mirth.
Each time I try to do things on my own, I get in trouble
You are always there to pull me out of the rubble
Thank you for claiming me to be your beloved daughter
I am grateful that you who live inside of me is greater.

One of my favorite verses is Psalm 139:13 which says “For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb and also Jeremiah 1:15 says “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” What an amazing God he is that he already planned our lives even before we were born. He claims us as his children. It was these two verses that actually busted all the enemy’s lies about my true identity in Christ.
The bible tells us that God has claimed us as his own from the time we were born. He destined us to be his children.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for claiming me as your child.
REFLECTION
Do people see you as God’s true child?
