I never knew You lived so close to the floor,but every time I am bowed down,crushed by this weight of grief,I feel Your hand on my head,Your breath on my cheek,Your tears on my neck.You never tell me to pull myself together,to stem the flow of many years.You simply stay by my sidefor as long as it takes,so close to the floor.

Listen, God is big enough, and His love is fierce enough to deal with anything we feel or must face.

If we believe we are loved, we will live loved.If we believe we are strong in the power of God, we will live strong.If we believe Christ is with us in our fear, we will be brave.If we believe that Christ is with us in the mornings of life, He will be there at midnight too.

I was learning the truth: though I felt lonely and scared, I was the well-loved girl of God. And though these feelings of loneliness were familiar, I was coming into an understanding:just because a place has become familiar doesn't mean its where you belong.

You are not alone. You are not alone. No matter how you feel, God's Word would never lie. You are not alone!
