"I'm Here"

"Im all alone."

"No one will ever love me."

"Why did this have to have to happen to me?"

"I can never be forgiven."

Grief. Pain. Fear.

Darkness is present."




"You don't understand me. No one will ever understand what I'm feeling."

  "I'm dirty."



A chaos. A mess.
                    That's what you think you are.

Darkness creeps in.


Lost. Helpless. Numb.
      
             You wrap yourself into your own cocoon of self-pity

"I'm worthless."

Down you go in this downward spiral of thoughts and feelings.




Silence screams for help.

Darkness covers you.
Blind. Deaf. Paralyzed.

You want it to end.
You can't take it anymore.
You're living but you feel like you're dying.









Tears stream down your cheeks like a river.
Your cry for help turned into a

               "Why?"


Your emotion turned into anger.
Into frustration.
Into blame.
Towards yourself.
Towards people.
Towards God.

But,
     in the end,
                 you cried for help again.

"Shhh"
       "I'm here"

says the    Light.



"I was here all the time, my dear.
                                    Open your eyes."

It's not the end.
The Light is present. Always.
Let Him in.
Let Him embrace you.
Don't lose hope for        He is your hope.


Open your eyes and see how He cares for you.
Open your ears and hear His message of grace.
Open your heart and experience His love.


Look at the cross and know that
          
                                He died just so that you may live.

You are His beloved.

That's who you are.

You are never alone.
                       He is here. Always.
