HE SET THE SOLITARY IN FAMILIES

HE SET THE SOLITARY IN FAMILIES By Blessing Arinola Give me some minutes, let me talk about my God You wonder how He is always my song Did I tell you where He picked me from? He got me here despite all odds Or should I tell you how He showed up for His children people mocked Affliction may even come as a result of what they've done But mercy comes from our God who also is the Judge He said the battle is not to the strong He always shows up whenever I feel unloved He indeed sets the solitary in families Usually, we can say life is easier when people love you And you are blessed when they choose you But what do we say about our mother "Leah"? God saw that she was unloved and gave her own She almost did not see what God is doing in her home Just because she was alone Naming her children after the pain she used to know It took her long enough to realise God gave her the throne Maybe you do not have the family of your own But remember with strangers that He had given you a home He set the solitary in families This is not me talking about why you were alone It may even be because of what you have done But as long as you are in Christ and ready to grow For Hannah it took her getting out of comfort zone If you let go of jealousy, God will give you your own That people will wonder why God pays attention to you Because God has made a covenant with the lonely So do not make a mistake, to think while the people left, God left too Remember He promised never to forsake you And if you will count, He already blesses you His word says, "He set the solitary in families" I am a testimony of this truth My story has proven God's word to be truth My beginning does not look like it will bear fruit But trust me, I never lack food I worried that I am not like other youth But they get tired and weary too I'm holding on to the anchor I knew I've stopped naming myself based on the past I knew I focus on just what God is doing And as a truth my life has proven that, He truly set the solitary in families.
