life.

Life flows from God.
if you're broken.
if you're scared.
if you're doubting.
if you're hurt.
to the girl who's lonely, and has given too much of her heart away.
for the guy who tries so hard, and is still rejected.
if you're mourning for the loss of a loved one.
if you're mourning for the loss of a loved one from suicide.
if you're wounded from past relationships.
if your parents are going through a divorce right now.
if you're dealing with the pain from divorce.
if you're needy.
if you're weary.
if you're stressed.
if you don't know where else to turn.
if you've done so much you don't feel like you'll ever be forgiven.
if you're caught up in drug and substance abuse.
if you're addicted.
if you've lost something dear to you.
if you've given up your virginity trying to find "love".
if you're helpless.
if you're hopless.
if you're depressed.
if you're sucidal.
if you've cut.
if you're strong.
if you're willing.
if you're nervous about the future.
if you've been struggling and can't seem to get away from it.
if you're in new surroundings and don't have friends yet.
if you've disappointed someone close to you.
if you've been disappointed IN someone close to you.
if you're sick.
if you have cancer or another life-threatening disease.
if you're a young mom.
if you're told you will never be anything.
if you feel unimportant.
if you feel worth it.
if your emotions are taking you away from what is TRUTH.
if you're tempted.
if Satans lies are overwhelming.
if you have bad grades and it's effecting your future.
if you've been rejected.
Life flows from God

I was thinking the other day about the way people always say they "live life to the fullest"...but to me, when I think of that, I think of accepting yourself and others for who God says we are..realizing that no matter where you are, or where you've been He's been there with you...and He loves you so much. To really believe that. It's true....nothing can stand in the way of it. Things will come up...and there will be consequences...but that's living life to the fullest. Not having as much fun as you can...not doing whatever you want because we won't be young forever...not being happy all the time....not being optimistic....it's understanding that Christ came to bring us abundant life...and isn't that what we all want anyway? LIFE. And life to the fullest. No matter what you're going through right now...I promise He's right here with you...and maybe it seems like He turned His back on you...maybe it seems like there is no end to the struggles....but there is....have hope...

believe that you are what He says you are.
believe your family is what He says they are.
believe your friends are what He says they are.
