Youre worth it...and far more

You're feeling alone.
Like no other soul existent in the world knows you or knows how you feel.
They see the mask you wear...but no one takes a moment from their busy, "perfect" lives to strip away your mask to see what's underneath.

You're feeling scared.
Your life isn't how you thought it would be. The little decisions you've made you never thought would lead you to this point in your life. You feel broken....used....angry...hopeless.

You're feeling misunderstood.
You say the words filling in your head but as they cascade from your mouth it's as if someone else has stolen them & twisted them into something else. No one understands what the words really mean. Sure, they're words cloaked in anger. But they come from the deepest part of you that is full of pain & misery & regret. The part of you that just longs to be heard & to be understood. You can't find any other words to describe it. You just know that when you speak, your voice is lost.

You're feeling lost.
You turn left & you should have turned right.
You turn right & everyone else is going left.
You're spinning around & around & around & when you fall over from the dizziness that is your confusion...no one is there to lend a hand to help you back up.
Your knees stay bruised.
Your hands stay scraped.
Your heart stays shattered on the road.
You're alone in the effort to pick them back up & tape them back together.

You have wandered this life the best way that you know how.
You were born into the family you have & that isn't something you can change.
You've made decisions that have populated results that you can't fix on your own.

I want you to know...
there IS someone who cares.
HIS hands & feet bled that you might know the extent of HIS love for you.
HIS back was torn open, skin broken, body bleeding that you might know the extent of HIS care for you.
HE hung, dying in HIS blood, a spectator to all...so that you might know how deeply HIS heart aches for you.
HE was betrayed by those HE loved....given over to death so that you might know how desperately HE longs for you.
HE breathed HIS last breath....thinking of you....that you might know you would never have to be alone.
HE was made fun of, HIS name defamed & slandered, that you might know that your name is beautiful to HIS ears.

HE was beaten beyond recognition....
betrayed by those who said they loved HIM...
died on a cross...
HIS body left to decay in a tomb...
resurrected by the power of GOD...

all that you may know you are NEVER alone,
you are worth dying for,
and that you are passionately & desperately loved beyond anything anyone could ever give you in this world.

You are worth LIFE and HE wants to give it to you in ABUNDANCE.

You are loved.
