I KNOW WHAT IT's LIKE

I know what it’s like to feel the suffocating grip of loneliness. Yet when it was done squeezing me, Jesus was still with me. I know what it’s like to feel the nauseating feeling of helplessness. Yet when there was no more help to hold onto, that’s when I discovered that God’s hope was holding onto me. I know what it’s like to taste despair and swallow shame. Yet both ingredients were necessary to break my hard heart so it could be mended by grace. I know what it’s like to be lost in the world. Yet by God’s grace alone, I now know what it’s like to be found by the Lord. "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, who made heaven and earth" (Psalm 121:1-2).
