You Got My Back

Here For You

Written August 19, 2011; dedicated to everyone under the sun

Everytime your heart breaks

Bring it back to Me

I'll take away your heart ache

I'll set those feelings free

I'll wrap you up in My arms

I'll show you how I care

You'll be safe from all harm

I am always there

The reason that I care, my dear

When you hurt, I do too

Everytime you shed a tear

The rain falls down for you

It may feel like you lost them

But really they lost you

You are My beautiful gem

My love for you is true

I'm preparing you for a better story

The one that I have planned

It'll be wonderful in all it's glory

Then you'll understand

I'm here for you

Day and night

I love you

It'll be alright

Sincerely,

Your One True Love

"I'm here for you" He says, as He cradles me in His transparent arms. Sometimes all we want is to be alone, yet we're surrounded by people. Then there's times where we are incredibly lonely, in need of just one soul to share the moment with. You know what I'm talking about. Those times that feel wasted unless they're with another person. The, "two is better than one" moments. You sit there wondering, where on earth is Mr/Mrs. Right, right now?! It's these exact feelings that lead to an immense amount of impatience resulting to quick doses of artificially flavored love, that like the ingredients warn, is artificial. And then, when that mistake blows over we're faced with more moments to ponder why we're alone, and the cycle repeats itself. Of course, that's not always the case. Some people tough it out and can really save themselves the trouble and find joy in other areas. They learn to be patient because they know better than to sell themselves short. They know the consequences of a battered heart and the bruises that come with it. I guess I've been trying to be that person. I'm not humanly capable of perfecting this though. Not at all. I'm not naturally equipped to deal with things with my own understanding. That's where God comes into play. There I go doing my own thing, setting myself up for heartache, and there He is waiting to pick me up again. But each time He gives me the patience to overcome that struggle. I like to think of it like He's putting a bandaid on each wound. I say, "Sorry, I messed up. I'll try not to trip on that curb again." He smiles and replies with, "Alright Stephanie, if you think you're ready I'll let you go right ahead. But remember if you do fall, I'm here for you." He pats me on the back, and lets me try again. With His fatherly knowledge, He already knows where it's going. I guess He's not just waiting for me to learn my balance, but also to really rely on Him to make things better when I do trip. But it's not only the clumsy that need Him at all times. Everyone does. Whether you're strong, and need Him to keep you that way or if you're weak and you need Him to help you gain your strength. Trust me, I've tried all the other "cures" but His is the only one that works. I sound like a salesperson for an informercial, but let me assure you it doesn't cost five easy payments of $99.99; 

All it costs is your trust and time. 

Sincerely,

Stephanie
