GIVE JESUS A CHANCE (UPDATE)

THE PAIN WAKES ME,

SHAKES ME,

CHANGES THE WAY I FEEL.

IT MAKES ME

WHO I AM,
REMINDS ME THAT I'M REAL.

JESUS SUFFERED
TREMENDOUSLY
SO I COULD LIVE.
SO I SHALL SUFFER
SO I CAN SHARE
THE GREAT LOVE
THAT GOD HAS TO GIVE
AND LIVE THE LIFE
HE SO GENEROUSLY SACRIFICED
FOR ALL OF US,
EVERYONE.

IF I DIDN'T HAVE THIS CONSTANT,
SEVERE, CHRONIC PAIN;
IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABUSED SO BADLY AS A CHILD,
I HONESTLY DO NOT BELIEVE
IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE
TO WRITE WHAT I WRITE,
TO SHARE,
TO LET OTHERS KNOW 
HOW MUCH I CARE,
AND THAT THEY ARE NOT, 
HAVE NEVER
AND SHALL NEVER 
BE ALONE
IN THEIR SUFFERING.

JESUS IS RIGHT THERE,
WAITING PATIENTLY BY YOUR SIDE.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU WON'T HURT
EVER AGAIN
IF YOU INVITE HIM IN.
BUT HE IS OUR CREATOR,
AND WHEN YOU ARE HURTING,
HE WILL BE THERE IN A FLASH,
GIVING YOU SO MUCH LOVE
AND SUCH A BIG HUG
IT WILL GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS.
I PROMISE.

JUST GIVE JESUS A CHANCE
PRETTY PLEASE.

HE IS FIGHTING FOR YOU.

PSALM 34:18

GOD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKENHEARTED
AND SAVES THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT.
