How Jesus sees more...

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty.
He said no.
She asked him if he would want to be with her forever.
He said no.
She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry,
and once again he replied with a no.
She had heard enough.
As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm .......
and said.......
See more... See more... See more... See more
You're not pretty,
you're beautiful.
I don't want to be with you forever.
I NEED to be with you forever.
And I wouldn't cry if you walked away,
I'd die.

Lord, help me see more.....

I have what it takes....

While I may not believe these things, a stilled small voice in me says these things are not only true, but the ONLY truth in the midst of this chaos. I may have lost hope, but I can still choose to hope for hope itself.

Hope CAN come for me.
Hope WILL come for me.
Hope IS coming for me.
