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!

Lions of God

Our lives can be ended so easily that its scary to think one minute you're here and the next you're before God's throne. That is why we have to make it count. Nothing we will ever do will make us better than anyone else. But that doesn’t mean we should conform to a fallen world. We have to stand up in it, be proud to be His sons and daughters, yet be humble enough to realize we are no better than those we witness to. We have to dance and sing when others are silent and act when others are afraid. We have to pray in Jesus Christ's name while others curse in it. We have to see the world through His eyes and act with His hands, listen through His ears, and speak in His words. That is our calling. To "Go into all the World and preach the good news to all creation." In His name we will "drive out demons, speak in new tongues, place our hands on snakes and not be poisoned, lay hands on the sick and they will get well." (Mark 16:15-18) We have the power. We have the opportunities. All we lack is the courage to be the Lions we are called to be. We have Christ inside of us. Your friends, your teachers, your enemies will see Him in you and ask themselves 'what makes him/her different?', and in that little thought the gates of their mind and heart will be opened enough to let God in.

Joy in Trials

Hold onto Jesus, And don’t let go. For there will be trials, The Bible says so. They’re given for a purpose. It’s part of His plan. You're to count them all joy, And rejoice if you can. Knowing that going through them Your faith’s in a test, And patience is the reward, With which God wants to bless. YOU for persevering and not giving in, To the temptations that surround you, The subtle call of sin. So stand fast my brethren And resist the evil one... Looking unto Jesus, And all that He has done. See, He was all God, But he was also all Man, He’s already won the victory So that you can GLORIFY HIM While you simply sail through, All of life’s storms, When they seem to engulf you. Knowing the testing of your faith Is making you stronger, And that patience is making you perfect, In case He tarries longer. -By Diana M.
