'through His Eyes'

When your jar feels so heavy Things continue to pile No escape from life’s tribulations Your outlook on life so gloomy When you feel like staying in bed When the energy seep through your fingers Draining all that you have left Just remember That does not symbolize all of you It might be what you feel now It does not label you Don’t judge yourself by your dark thoughts We all go to that space at times Always remember your anchor That does not stand in judgment Of your lack of faith at times Just don’t linger in that mode Tormenting yourself with guilt You weren’t meant for that dark space Eventually you will need to get up You will need to man up Face life again He selected you for this passage Because He knew your capability Even when you feel gutted All He sees is your potential The one thing you don’t grasp While you looking at the now

Adding this to my faves, Missy-- a gentle and timely reminder for me. You must be tired of me saying this-- but you truly just write uplifting and inspiring writes when I need them (I guess not only me, but so many others) What a beautiful gift you have Missy. I better sleep, almost 4am here & I have to be awake in a few hours. Silly me.Totally different story in some way, but reading this, made me think along the lines of Snow Patrol's "This Isn't Everything You Are". Beautiful. Don't keel over
