You are…a work in progress. <3

You are not the drugs you used to take, the alcohol you like to drink,

the willpower that always breaks,Or the pain that brings you to the brink

You are not the pain you drown in You are not the hurt that binds

You are not your kin Or the fulfillment you can't seem to find

You are not the scars on your arm You aren't the weight you are -

Your spirit's Above the worlds harm You are not your scars

You're life is worth more than that You're not emo or goth or lost

You are His Precious artifact And He's already paid your cost.

He spilled His blood for you So you don't have to shed yours

And He promises love and comfort too This isn't some fantasy lore.

You are not the emptiness in the mirror You are not the hopeless you feel

Oh if only you could see clearer! Then I know you'd begin to heal!

You are His beloved, His bride.You were wonderfully made!

In Him you can take your pride! In Him your debt is Paid!

He can take you were you're at No matter how dark and deep

And I know its crazy, but it's a fact You can hear Him in your sleep.

Open up your tired heart Shake the doubt from your mind

Let His Light break the hurt apart Listen to Him Divine

All the promises He has given The joy and peace as well

Showing you the way you should be livin And how He's saving you from hell.

I know this sounds so strange, That this Awesome God cares.

You might think I'm deranged, But frankly I don't mind your stares

You see, We care for you And love you all the same

God picked a chosen few, And He knows you by Name!

His presence reaching from above He takes you, broken and in pain

He can bring you light and Love And yes, I am fully sain.

My friends you are never alone, No matter how much you think

That there is no place you call Home And your life is only going to stink

He lived among us years ago He felt our suffering

He let His Love flow To take away the sting

Of sin and of faults we've done He gave us hope to live by

A Hope He calls His Son A Son that holds us when we cry

So Call out to Him now Before it is too late

Let Him show you how His love your soul will sate

Always know that He wants to heal your brokenness!

Let's face it-

We all need help. But often times are too afraid or embarresed to ask someone we know personally. We all need answers. And though the Bible holds many of them, opening it and trying to decode its teachings to fit our individual lives can be a daunting, sometimes even untried feat. We all need someone to listen. But for a lot of us we think we need more than God's ever present ear.
That's where I come in. Give me the question, the problem, the worry, or the need, and I will do all I can in God's granted power to help give you your answer.

You Aren't Alone.

No matter how much you feel like it, you are never alone. This comforts some and scares others, but nevertheless it is true. Whether you're standing in the midst of a crowd of your peers, wearing a plastic smile to match theirs while feeling as if no one couldn't care less if you even existed, much less accepted the invite. Or sitting on a half deserted bus, headphones in ears, bitterness in heart, thoughts no one should ever think swirling in your head... God's here. He's always here. Feeling alone and being alone are two different things.

I know, I've been there. It's hard to trust that God knows what is going on inside your heart every second of every day. Its hard to not want to completely withdraw from the world when it has hurt you so many times. And it is hard to have to realize this world isn't perfect, that the people who live here aren't, and that the only perfect One is Jesus. And it's really, really, hard to grasp how no matter how many times you are the one to stab Him in the back, He's always willing and ready to be your best friend...

Just remember this- Jesus had to leave some of His friends behind when He needed to get closest to God. Maybe the reason you are feeling separated is because He needs you to be so you'll seek HIM. And, if not, if you still seek Him, He'll reveal Himself to you, and you won't be alone either way.

So, what's on your heart today?
