Your Story Matters

~

My relationships are rich

Because I listen today

To one who loves me deeply

Friendship born in tears

~

I have just one voice

That captures all of my thoughts

I hesitate to name him

Misconceptions blind

~

My feelings deny

The reality of love

I will use my mind

~

I have a good friend

I know his story the best

His teachings have saved my life

I awake hungry

To listen to his kind voice

On Jesus’ words I reflect

~

I know this takes faith

I put my mind in gear

Examine his story well

I choose to trust him

~

Who are the happy

They are the powerless ones

Who admit they’re wrong

They begin to grieve losses

And discover real comfort

~

I found out what matters most

I learned it from the teacher

Nothing is more important

Than human beings

~

Unquenchable fire

Ignited by a life well lived

He defeated death itself

Calls me to follow

To love God as He loves me

To see and love others well

~

I have had thousands of people share their story with me.  The ones that thrive emotionally are the ones who have a foundation of faith.
