I was conceived in wickedness, born in the midst of evil, and have been a wanderer all my 56 years of existence.

No one claims me, my bloodline, nor my destiny!

I was cursed with death before I took my first breath.
The me that was born into that life held no value, to anyone, aside for the men who helped themselves to that which was not theirs to take. My mother was so consumed with her own trauma and grief that she failed to protect any of her children, eventually dying of severe Dementia before I was able to tell her that I understood.

Perhaps this question would have been more valuable, were I to have the memories and life lessons handed down from a healthy, normal background and cultural heritage. But, I don’t. Therefore, this prompt might be considered a waste of time to answer.
By grace, mercy, providence, and purpose, you don’t have to accept the prompt response of the me that died, some time ago, in fact.

This is the me that was brought from death to life, and who stands before you now…

I know who I am
I am a child of God
The kingdom of heaven is my culture, my eternal heritage
I am born again
Chosen
Set apart
Written in the Book of Life
Bought
Paid for
I am free…
You better not forget your cookies! I worked all morning on them…

You made and shaped a destiny despite the horrors thrown at you by life. And with the help of God you’ll continue to be a truly valuable and worthwhile human being.
In a way, this is so much better than those who had it handed to them but threw it away.

A Testimony for you – Today Morning My Father and Mother went to Hospital ( My mother was a Cancer Patient – She was Miraculously healed in the name of Jesus)..
Some unknown young lady she was travelling with my Father and Mother. While everyone get down from the Auto.. My father and mother ready to pay the Auto bill ( Charges).. He was refused to get the money from my father and mother.. My father and mother pressed the Auto Driver to get money..
The Auto Driver said “The Young Lady paid all your 💵bills.. She said to me ” Not to get money from you “.. My Father and Mother searching the young lady.. She was not found…
My mother come to my home in the evening and shared the Testimony..
Dear Beloved,
Our God is a great God who created the heavens and the earth..
Our God is a living God.. Our God is an awesome God..
Don’t worry.. You are God’s idea.. You are in God’s hand… You are valuable in the sight of God..
