When You Need to Remember The Truth

Curled up in a pile of sheets and pillows, the stillness of the night creeping in, there she sat.
Alone.
And broken.
Weeping from the depths of her soul.
As he stared blankly into her swollen eyes
And
Walked
Away.

And every moment she would think she had cried all she could, more tears began to flow.

Maybe you're this woman.
Maybe you've been told how very not worth it you are.
Maybe you've been walked out on,
Your heart trampled as feet exited your life.
Maybe you've had family, friends, loves and lives
Tell you
You're.Not.Worth.It.
You're not capable of love.
It's YOUR fault.

Unworthy.
Unloved.
Incapable.

All you needed was some tiny shred of hope that maybe
Just maybe
Someone loves you at least a little.
And that would be all you needed to hold on tight.
And not give up.

Maybe you've sat 
Wondering why you're even here
And considering the unthinkable.
Because, after all, 'they' are better off without you around.
Anyway.

Maybe you've been shattered on the rocks
Your entire life crumbled beneath your feet
Nothing remotely close to hold on to
Flailing
Drowning
Gasping
Sinking
Alone you've cried.
Broken.





Let me remind you of another One
Broken
and
Shattered.

Alone in the middle of the night
Tears streaming forth
Begging
For
Reprieve

And yet

Would rather have died an unspeakably brutal death
Than to live
Another moment

Without

You.



And He did.
For.
You.


And He tells you:
You are worth it.
You are loved.
You are cherished.
Never.
Forget.

And if you do, I will remind you,
You precious child of the Most High King.

When all hope is lost and nothing makes sense and the silence of your solitude becomes deafening to the point of madness

Know this Truth

There is One who has embarked on a 
Passionate Pursuit of YOUR Heart

And His Love Never Fails.

Never.
