I don’t know what you’re going through right now. 

I don’t know where you’re at on your ladder. 

I dont know what’s got you tripping. 

I can’t understand your fears. 

I don’t know why you can’t stop crying. 

I see you. Oh yes, I do. 

But all I see is your pretty face. 

All I see is the confident expression you show to the world. 

All I see is the plastered smile.

And the smirk you hide behind. 

I can’t comprehend the depth of your loneliness. 

Your pursuit of love and affection baffles me. 

And a lot of times I walk past you without a hello or hi. 

Maybe it’s cause I’m dealing with my own battles.

I certainly don’t know the demons you face but I have my own. 

And fighting them off takes so much from me.

I’m weary. 

Just as you are. 

I’m clinging to hope.

Just as you are. 

I’ve also been thoroughly disappointed.

And I’m sinking downwards. 

And then I’m up! 

I saw the light tonight!

You’re not alone! 

God is so amazing! 

And He reaches out to us everytime.

He’s saying, ‘You don’t have to walk this path alone. I am here and I love you. I have loved you with an everlasting love. Take hold of my hand and I’ll never let you go. I am Jesus and I love you. I will help you. I will heal you. I will give you peace and rest. Come to me!’

I did accept the invitation. 

I still have my battles and my demons.

But I’m not fighting them off anymore. 

Jesus is! 

I have peace and rest. 

Just like He promised! 

I’m no longer weary. 

I have victory! 

Cause I’m more than a conqueror. 

In Jesus!
