Let it Go and Head for Life

When you love something
You may have to let it go
And give it time to grow
But don't rely on the hope that it will come back to you
Just rely on your faith that God is in control
That if it is HIS will, HE will bring it back to you refreshed and refined
And if not, HE will bring you a greater, realer, deeper love
So
Let it go
And allow HIM to flow
Because no matter how hard we try to hold on to something
If it is not HIS will or HIS timing, we're headed for misery
Please don't head for misery
You know when it's time to let something go
Don't ignore it
Embrace it
And head for LIFE

"I am" because "HE is"

On the highest, coldest mountain top, I am warm
On the loneliest road, I am accompanied
In my saddest moments, I am comforted
On the rainiest day, I am dry
When my enemies attack, I am protected
After I'm broken down, I am restored
When danger is all around me, I find refuge
While others are lacking, my needs are fulfilled 
 Because...
HE is my warmth
HE is my company
HE is my comforter
HE is my umbrella
HE is my protector
HE is my restorer
HE is my refuge
HE is all I need
HE is my God
and HE sustains me
"I am" because "HE is"

Convince

You shouldn't have to convince someone that you're an amazing person

You shouldn't have to convince someone that you're worth it

You shouldn't have to convince someone that your "struggle" doesn't define who you are

You shouldn't have to convince someone that your "struggle" doesn't have to define your relationship with them

If they are in tune with the God in them, they will be in tune with the God in you

And once this beautiful connection takes place,

"Convincing" is not necessary
