A poem…
Keep chasing after pure joy
Joy to believe that this space right here is enough
Joy to bring life back to a broken heart
Joy to hold on to hope even when things feel like they are tearing apart
And keep chasing after the light, no matter the darkness around you
You may not always be able to see where you are going in life, but God does
And days you may feel like giving up, but God will never give up on you
The Lord is walking with you, helping you fight your trials, holding you through the storm
And I know you are tired of wearing this thorn
But look at the King of all Kings having that worn
Undeserving pain, yet everlasting love
He understands us like no one else does
There is something better, something brighter on the other side of this dark hole
Beauty and details God has crafted into your future that are unique and untold
Peace and joy that you get to know
Healing from the places that feel torn
It may feel foggy and uncertain but we have a God of victory, a God who fully sees
And maybe holding onto Him through the mystery is simply all it takes to make it through the day
To find a place that is free
Even through the darkest sides, and the tears you cry
Where you’d rather escape or hide
Know that there is still light calling out to you
It is not lost and you can bravely take step by step knowing you’re being lead in the arms of the one who is the light of the world
There is so much more to your story
From the nights you sleep to the mornings you wake
He is with you always and will never forsake
It’s okay to mess up, to make mistakes
Because God covers them with His mercies
He makes your broken pieces mend
And lets joy find you on the other end
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
- James 1:23
