Life ~Promise

   Life. It's funny, it's crazy, it's happy...
It's also painful, and sad.

   Summer days, flowers, cool breezes wafting through your hair, winter chills, hot chocolate, hugs from friends.

   Regrets, changes, moves, death, tears and dark nights that you cry yourself to sleep, praying that tomorrow will be better.

   I get it.

   I guess this post is to tell you that you're not alone. Life is hard, life brings pain and disappointment and failures, but it's something nobody should ever give up on. To you teenagers out there, hi. I know how hard you try to get school done, figure out who God created you to be, keep up with friends and family. Let's be honest. Life kinda stinks sometimes, right? It's okay to admit that you don't have it all figured out. I'll let you in on the world's big secret. Nobody has life figured out. But, I know who created life. I know who created you.
 
    I hope you know how much you are loved.

   Guess what? You know that voice in your head that whispers ' Nobody likes you, why would they? If you were gone, who'd notice? '

  NEVER.

  LISTEN.

   It's one of the devil's best tricks. You are valuable, needed, and cherished by those around you and by God! It breaks his heart to see you suffer. That doesn't mean you won't suffer. Pain makes us strong. Hardships lead us to the One who's strong.
 
    If you're going through a hard time in your life, don't give up. I promise you that it will get better. I promise you that Jesus will sit with you in the dark watches of the night.  I promise that a new dawn will break and the light of morning with draw you into it's arms.
  
   So, life. Crazy, unpredictable life.

It's kind of beautiful, isn't it?

God bless. ~Promise.
