There is hope for us – for all of us.
The most messed-up of us.
The hurt, the broken, the shamed.
The isolated, lost, & afraid.
The emotionally-decimated of us.
We have wandered.
We have strayed.
We have lost heart and faith.
We have made our own way.
It hasn’t worked.
We know… And it hurts.
We have hidden away, slipped away…
Hidden our hopes, our dreams,
even our sense of dignity.
But we can come out of hiding,
And return to the Lord,
Just as we are –
As messed up, lacking
and sinful as we are.
We must face the facts.
Waste no more precious time.
There is no pulling ourselves up…
No “snapping out of it” that sticks…
No “getting over it” that heals…
We simply can’t do it.
We can’t fix ourselves.
And we can’t fix each other.
But, there is hope.
There is hope for you.
There is hope for us.
There is hope for me.
No matter the situation…
When we come to Him…
When we draw near to God,
To our Father and Creator.
God is our healer.
He is the healer.
Healing begins the moment you return to Him.
No reason to wait, or shave or cleanse.
Come to Him now, right where you are.
Hang up your hurt, and put on hope…
Experience isolation drift away
as His Spirit comforts you.
Give away your broken pieces,
And receive wholeness.
Find your way again… yourself again,
As you were created – in love – to be.
There is hope – for you and for me.
