Dear Brokenhearted,

Joel David Holsinger - "Mount Calvary"

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."
-John 10:27-29 

You wait for a time where hope will be alive in you. You see the pain and the deep seeded shame in you. You wonder if you could ever feel normal again. Walking on seems useless and working has lost its value. Each day is a struggle to find purpose in little things.

Dear Brokenhearted, I know your thoughts in the night. Curling in the fetal position your emotions and thoughts begin to fight. Overwhelmed with sorrow and hopeless thoughts inside. Your dreams seem unfulfilled and the complex of failure alive. Darling I see your tears and I hear you sobs through the sky.

Dear Brokenhearted, your soul is still alive. You'll find strength every day from the Lord and you will be okay. And when you lose all your faith, just believe in His ways. The time will come when you will be strengthened. All the sorrow and the pain, doesn't make sense in the rain. But when the clouds clear the sky, the sun will seem so bright.

HOLD ON!!

Your life is in His hands. He cradles everything. His love is so deep!

Hold on... Hold on, I beg you.

Your life is of value. And you are beautiful. Don't think to believe that you are worth nothing. Jesus created you and He paid the full price to see you live in Him. His work on the cross is not in vain. He died for you, so that you wouldn't need to live in shame. The night seems dark in the present but the day will come when it isn't...so hold on.

Dear Brokenhearted, you sing a song alone. No hugs, no love from anyone. You suffer from the tears of loneliness. However, you are not alone. You will never be alone. Accept His love into your heart and the great gap will be filled. You are God's creation and all pains in Him is healed. He loves you so deeply.

You angrily ask why suffering must exist. Your tears seem red with anger and your thoughts can't comprehend. His ways are not our own and the evil in the world is not our home. The Lord is our Savior and He will bring us home. Cling to His promises that life anew with Him is worth it. He will not forsake you so hold on.

Darling, we may never understand, why the pain we feel hurts so bad. The times we suffer are the times we grow. The wilderness, the desert is the lowest of the lows. However, when the Lord is our Savior and we lean on His great strength, no amount of suffering could ever pull us away. The Good Lord, is still good even when we can't lift our face.The tears may still rain down, but it is safe in His hands. He sentimentally collects them and remembers all our woes. With great care and gentility He will hold us as we grow.

The Lord is all we need if we are willing to seek His face. The Lord our God and Savior believes in all we are. Hold on my darling. You will make it. His word is still and true. Hold on my darling. Hold on.

Sincerely,

Hope.
