The card was bought.
It was sealed with a kiss and a prayer.
Hoping this friendship that went terribly
wrong
wrong
would be healed.
Both of us equally guilty
in the unraveling.
in the unraveling.
A few days later,
un-friended by her sister.
She had gone to the length to
tell her family not to talk to me.
It stung, it hurt.
Had this happened
years before it would have
sent me back to the cross.
Gathering stones
and throwing myself into a
pit.
I would have told myself
that God didn't love me because
she rejected my
apology.
My friendship.
That I was unworthy of love
and not valuable.
That I was unworthy of love
and not valuable.
That my friend is a lie.....
The cross.
It shows of a love that we could never do.
A sacrifice of a Father's love for
me, you and us.
He gave up His son
to die.
God loved us first.
God knew we would have to pay a price
for our sins.
Our life.
Our life.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death,
For the wages of sin is death,
God loved us so much
that He gave His son
to pay the price.
His life.
1 John 4:10
This is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us
and sent His son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
His life.
1 John 4:10
This is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us
and sent His son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Once I wrapped my arms around
the love that God has for me,
that God sent His son to die for me.
Once I fully understood God's love for me,
rejections, hurts, disappointments
that God sent His son to die for me.
Once I fully understood God's love for me,
rejections, hurts, disappointments
didn't destroy
didn't crush me.
God doesn't want us going around life
with our heads down.
Kicking the ground
I am a no body.
No body loves me.
It's hard, I know,
people might have told you
that you weren't worthy of love.
That we weren't valuable.
The way others have treated you make you
feel that way.
The way others have treated you make you
feel that way.
But those are lies.
The cross.
It shows that you, that I am valuable.
That you and I are loved.
The truth is people
are going to hurt us.
Say things,
disappoint.
Some might even walk out of our lives.
Some may never forgive.
Some may not want to be our friends.
Or ever be friends with us again.
When I filled my arms for the Love that
God has for me
it was hard to hold onto
rejections and hurts.
Won't you do the same.
Wrap your arms tightly around the cross.
That you and I are loved.
The truth is people
are going to hurt us.
Say things,
disappoint.
Some might even walk out of our lives.
Some may never forgive.
Some may not want to be our friends.
Or ever be friends with us again.
When I filled my arms for the Love that
God has for me
it was hard to hold onto
rejections and hurts.
Won't you do the same.
Wrap your arms tightly around the cross.
