here we go.
And I’m sorry that I’ve counted You out.
I know now that You’ve never counted me out. Not once, not for a second. Not when I’ve failed you time and time again.
And even then…we can’t possibly let You down. We were never holding You up.
It’s been You all along. It’s been You who’s been at my side, holding me up, holding my hand, helping me along, even without me realizing.
It’s been You who’s been holding on to me, all this time, never letting go.
No, You never let go. Not for a second.
Here I am, Father. At Your feet, and at Your mercy.
I’ve wandered off into the dark, but I am not lost.
I’ve been struggling, but I am not defeated.
I’ve been alone, but I am not abandoned.
Because no matter how many times I may have disappointed You, I know You still love me. Oh, Your perfect love! How much Your heart must hurt to see me like this. To see any of Your children in pain, suffering, or wandering into the dark, away from You.
Well, Father…I am back. I’ve come home. And of course, Your arms are open wide open. Yet at the same time, this whole time You’ve been embracing me, never letting me go. Even when I was fighting Your hands, You held on. You always hold on to me. You always have, and You always will.
When all we can see is darkness, and when all we can feel is pain and death
When all we can do is fall onto our knees, and when all we can do is become lifeless to the world
When all seems hopeless, and when the light is just out of our reach
You never let go. Not for a second.
I don’t really know what I want from life;
I know that there are things that I still desire greatly
and I know that there are things I have now that I wish I didn’t have at all.
Nothing.
Think about it. NOTHING lasts forever, in this world.
Not life, nor death. Not even pain and suffering. And we know that whatever awaits us on the other side is better than anything we can imagine.
So why are we so caught up in our own pain?
I need Your strength. Your peace, Your grace, and Your love.
I need to know You still hold us in Your hands.
Because I know that the day will come when we finally meet, and Your arms will be open wide.I know this because I am a Child of God. I know this because I am a beloved creation of the great Creator. I know this because I am loved.
And there is nothing that can change that. Not one thing.

i wish we had a beach here.
i would just get lost in the vast openness, watching the waves roll in, letting it wash away everything on my mind…
but then again, maybe there shouldn’t be a beach here. i’m not sure i’d be able to leave.

it’s one thing to realize that we aren’t perfect. none of us was, none of us are, and none of us will ever be.
but it’s entirely another thing to accept that we can’t possibly do this…do life on our own.
