Silent Sound

I'm the still voice,

A whisper in the wind.

A sound so soft,

So close,

But yet, hard to hear.

All the distractions, won't drown out my voice if you my child,

Will just be still and listen.

Listen to the voice inside you.

The voice that says:

You are a child of God,

You are worthy,

You are loved.

My voice is like the wind,

Sometimes strong and loud,

But also strong and quiet.

Listen,

Listen my child,

No Sin,

Guilt,

Shame,

Fear,

Pain,

Height,

Depth,

Nothing can separate you from me.

I've always been here,

Like the whispering wind on a cool breezy night.

Close,

Not too loud and not too soft.

Be still.

And know that I'm God.

The Wave Of Life

There are times in your life

where you can only see a wave of darkness

It surrounds you and ingulfs you in fear and saddness.

But waves come, and go.

Leave your emotions that came with that wave behind.

I know what it feels like to be trapped in a wave

that's drowning you in negative emotions.

It is terrifying when that wave passes.

You won't know what the next wave will bring.

Each wave comes and goes, there are big ones and small ones.

They can be short, or long.

just remember, to trust God and try to ride the waves.

It won't be easy.

Its gonna take a lot of strength to be able to let go of all the emotions each wave brings.

Trust God and you will be safe, loved, valued, and held up.

By the one who never leaves.

Trust God with your heart.

Sounds

The sound of laughter, the sound of a kid enjoying a toy that he found. Noise, lots of it. Stillness can be good, but it's better when you have sound

And the birds are flying around,

People dancing

people praying,

They're saying,

God, we know you are near,

We know that we don't have to fear,

You're the one who will help us through this dark time.

We should all be kind,

And try to make someone smile, because you might save a life. Noise, it's Beautiful, we make music through every sound.

Right now,

Times are tough.

But know that There soon will be better days.

Yes, I know that you feel like your lost,

Like you're in a never ending maze of heartbreak fear and anger.

The more we come together And embrace the times that we have with our loved ones, the more that when this is over people will Stop, reflect and think,

To not take so much for granted.

Sound,

It can be good.

Especially right now.

So, enjoy the phone calls to your family, enjoy the laughter from your kids, most of all enjoy living. We're alive,

I'm definitely grateful for that.

He Can

i feel he can abuse

Manipulate and use

me to The point where i give up

He tries to justify

his logic and When I try to leave terrify

runs through his body

afraid that i’m gonna kill myself

It’s my fault If I just agree

and say he is right

the abuse will stop

and it will be a light

for me

i will be free...

i am going through a situation where i have to stay.

i don’t know what to do anymore...

just want to be from

all this pain.

Pray Through Everything

When you feel all alone,

You need some strength.

You don't know where to go,

There is hope.

Hope is God

Hope is strength

Hope is faith

Hope is grace

Hope is His ways.

You don't have a home,

You need some hope,

Look up to the one

The one will give you hope.

Your hope is love

Your hope is strength

Your hope is faith

Your hope is to pray

His love is the way.

When your lost,

You don't know who to trust,

Pray.

Pray for His love

Pray for His ways

He will heal you.

God is hope.

God is in control. He might let you fly.

He might let you fall.

Its His call.

When it's your time.

To be in heaven.

It's okay,

It's all right,

Just pray.

It takes time,

He always answers when you pray.

No matter if their tears,

He takes away your fears and pain.

Abuse

abuse causes death

its a threat

abuse comes in many forms

abuse is a storm that transforms

the victims

to have suspicions

everyone who is a victim can’t trust people when they say they are good

people that have been abused are misunderstood

there are many different kinds

it can make our minds

trapped in a pit

that can make us split

in to a dark deep whole

that can swallow your soul

be bold

and hold

on to the one true God

Depression

depression is real

sometimes its hard

to heal

from the scars

berried deep

in your heart

and within your wrists.

you can feel

the brokenness

people say

its not real.

to heal

just let go

and you will grow

beyond the road

of loneliness.

soon one day

you will realize

you’ll be blessed.

please don’t fear

because God is here

he will wipe

away your tears

that you cried

because you’ve wanted

to always die.

God can restore

The weak

he can seek

The ones that are

going through a storm.

A storm of depression

that’s like an infection.

you can survive

The people who despise

and put on a disguise

because gods eyes

can destroy the lies

because he is wise

you will rise

and face the demons

that are inside

your heart

and mind.

yes, depression is real

but remember that God forgives, forgets, loves, feels, and heals you.

with God you are strong.

if you trust in God

it won’t be long

until the depression is gone.

True Love Is Unconditional

Love is deep,

Like a steep

Incline to the top of the mountains.

It brings light to the broken,

Wisdom to the chosen.

Love never ends,

Even when things become tense.

Love is unconditional,

Never failing,

And unstoppable.

True love goes on forever.

Even when people think that you're crazy,

Ask yourself,

Aren't those the people who just maybe,

Are jealous?

They're jealous of the love that you have,

And you give.

Maybe they think to themselves,

Wow! I want that kind of love.

They start to wonder,

Is there something we must uncover?

There has to be a secret,

There's no such thing as never ending, unfailing, unconditional true love.

But you know,

That there is such thing as unconditional true love. True love is God.

And you know,

You have to share what your God

Has done for you,

The fact that he sent his son,

To die on the cross for your sins.

Jesus Christ, son of the living God,

Got tortured, beaten, faced with the shock,

And pain of the nails being hammered into him,

Was hung on the cross,

Just for you. So that you could spend eternity with God. Jesus is the way, the truth and life. He died on the cross to set us free.

So, you think to yourself

God is good,

He sent his only son to die for us,

To take the place,

To take the pain so we could be set free. That's the definition, of unconditional,

Unbelievable,

Never failing,

Unshakable,

And unchangeable true love.

Jesus died,

Got tortured,

And he did this,

Because he loves us.

He loves us for who we are,

No matter how far

You think you've gone

No matter how many scars,

You have,

God loves you.

He loves you,

No matter what you've done,

Who you are,

No matter where you are in life,

Just remember.

He sent his own son,

To live a sinless life,

To be ridiculed, beaten

And hung on the cross for you.

True love,

Is the definition of God.

We are children of the Lord,

He weeps when we weep,

His heart aches,

When our heart breaks.

Live life, love, and trust God.

He is the true unconditional love

That you see,

From people like me.

I am 21 years or older.
