GOD'S NOT DONE WITH YOU YET

CAN YOU STILL
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
WHEN YOU'RE BROKEN?
CAN YOU STILL
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
WHEN YOU FEEL FORSAKEN?
BECAUSE WE ARE TOLD
TO SHINE OUR LIGHT
NO MATTER 
THE CIRCUMSTANCE.
IT'S EASY
TO SHINE YOUR LIGHT
WHEN LIFE IS BREEZY.
BUT IF YOU ARE SERVING THE LORD,
THERE WILL BE TIMES,
I PROMISE YOU,
WHEN YOU JUST WANT TO THROW IN THE TOWEL.
THERE WILL BE TIMES
WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE SHINING YOUR LIGHT,
WHEN YOU FEEL BROKEN AND ALONE
AND NO ONE UNDERSTANDS.
BUT AREN'T THOSE THE TIMES
WHEN WE SHOULD SHINE OUR LIGHT
EVEN MORE,
IN THE DARKNESS?
I MAY BE BROKEN
TODAY
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
I'M GOING TO STOP SPREADING GOD'S LOVE
THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE
IF THAT'S WHERE I AM CALLED.
SO SCRAPE OFF THAT DUST, SHERRIE,
FROM THAT LAST UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT.
YOU WERE TRUSTING IN THE WRONG THING.
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN KEEPING
YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE,
ON YOUR KING.
THINGS MIGHT NOT HAVE WORKED OUT
AS YOU HAD PLANNED,
BUT JUST KNOW, SELF,
THAT GOD HAS YOUR LIFE MAPPED OUT
FROM BEGINNING TO END.
AND, YES, IT IS HARD TO SHINE YOUR LIGHT
WHEN YOU ARE DOWN AND OUT OF SORTS.
BUT, SERIOUSLY, SHERRIE DEAR,
THIS JUST SOUNDS LIKE A TEST.
YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW
THAT MANKIND LETS YOU DOWN.
BUT JESUS NEVER HAS,
NEVER WILL.
HE HOLDS YOU IN HIS HANDS,
LOVES YOU BEYOND MEASURE,
AND WANTS MORE FOR YOU
THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE.
THIS FIGHT HAS ALREADY BEEN WON.
SO GET OUT OF BED,
SHAKE IT OFF,
AND SHINE YOUR LIGHT.
DON'T GIVE UP
BECAUSE IT'S JUST BEGUN.
GOD'S NOT DONE WITH YOU YET.

JOHN 1:5

THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS,

AND THE DARKNESS HAS NOT OVERCOME IT.
