And Still...

I walked a road by myself thinking it was the easy and safe way. 

I turned my back on all things that were holy and true, and lived a life that was a lie. 

I allowed darkness to be my guide. Hiding away in despression and anxiety.

But still I never allowed myself to look up to the light.

I walked a road that spiraled downwards. 

I walked a path that only took me to pain. 

I listened to lies, and voices that weren't the friends I thought they were.

And still I never looked to the truth.

The darkness got heavier and the pain grew too much. 

It got to the point where my mind was broken and my heart was shattered.

I called for help to the darkness. I called for help from the world.

And even still I never turned my eyes up to the arms that are love.

While I was hiding, falling and failing, my Saviour was pleading. 

He walked the road that was darkness, that was spiraling just hoping I'd look to my side.

He listened and weeped as I cried out for help. 

He held out His hands that this day I'd finally see. 

My Saviour still stayed and looked at the beauty that he created and loved so dear. 

One day I looked and saw a beacon of hope.

That day that my Saviour was waiting for.

I looked to the side and saw the loving arms of the Saviour that held little me. 

And still though I had pushed my Saviour away He was there that day to never let me go. 

The path is now light, and hope, and truth.

My eyes now always look and see my Saviour that never ever left little me.

The arms that have been, and always will be, my comfort and guide.

And still days might seem a little tough or hard but I know that my Saviour is mightier than all.



Blessings,
