Won't Grow Weary...

Today I was reading through my student's journals. They are reading through Romans right now. I got kind of discouraged as I read some of them and the fact that so many are from non-Christian homes where they aren't allowed to believe in Jesus. It struck me right in the heart, and just made me question, Lord what am I doing? How am I going to get through to them? Then I read some more and was overwhelmed with the fact that you know what? God, He is the One that is touching their lives, not me. They may hate to do journaling, but you know what? They are reading the Word and that is what is important. Sometimes I get so caught up in the "me" part of this equation that I forget that it is not about me. It is about Him. I heard a song today....actually listened to it and it reminded me of something- you know what? God is the defender of the weak, He reaches those in need, and He doesn't grow weary. He loves to love people, to run after them and to show them the truth of who He is. It is not all about me, it is about Him. All I have to do is love, and be His. So as I think about this here are the words that come to mind:


You are His creation,
set apart for greater purposes than you could ever imagine.

You are His beautiful child,
He loves you and wants you to know Him more.

He knows your pain and hurt,
He knows the saddness that you can't handle anymore.

He desires for you to know Him,
to set aside the doubt and fear.

The fear it seems so bottled up,
like an explosion just waiting to occur.

Don't let it explode, just let it release,
Every step you take to release, is a step closer to the truth.

He knows the pain of what you are facing,
Being pulled in so many directions, with truth nowhere near

He knows you hear one thing and then another,
never really understanding what truth is and how to acknowledge what you feel.

He loves you and created you,
Let go of the hold that is keeping you captive

Let go of the doubts that are holding you back,
leave it behind and don't turn around.

For His light will shine to guide you along,
He is your creator, your sustainer and your ever-present guide.
