A Child of the King!

This little poem by Edith Young reminds us again how very blessed we are to be a child of God!  What a wonderful privilege it is to belong to the King of the Ages -- the One who rules this mighty universe, but also deigns to walk and talk with me!  Praise the Lord!

"POOR?  No, of course not!!  Why, how could I be,
                      when Christ, the King, is taking care of me!

 TIRED?  Sometimes -- yes, more than tired;
                      but then, I know a place where  I can rest again!

 LONELY?  Ah, well I know the aching blight;
                          But now -- I've Jesus with me day and night!

BURDENS?  I have them; oft they press me sore,
                          And then -- I lean the harder, trust the more.

WORTHY?  Oh, No!  The marvel of it is
                           That I should know such boundless love as His!

        And so, I'm rich; with Christ I am "joint-heir,"
        Since He once stooped my poverty to share."

Thank you, blessed Saviour, for dying that I might live!
