"So many people are broken and they're not getting up....this can't be the body you spoke of. This is our song so sing out loud a chorus for us. This is my worship this is my life, to bring hope to this broken world"
-To all those who are stuggling in life in any way shape or form, especially with Ed or with SI, just know it gets better and there is hope. You have a story, a beautiful story filled in that beautiful body and soul and you deserve to be heard. You'll hear through out life that people understand, that they relate, that they simpathize with you; but you may never believe that. Well I am here to tell you today that no I may not understand exactly what you have gone through, that I may not be able to relate in every way or any way, or that I know exactly what you are feeling....but I do know this: life is hard, really hard at times, and sometimes we lose hope or faith or strength or whatever it may be, we seem to lose something....especially a part of ourselves. I want to tell you what other people do not know how to say, that it may not feel okay, it may feel like the end of the world but chances are it's not if you take a second look through my eyes and see that I love you. Yes, I love you. I may never have met you but I love you because YOU are YOU. You are a person, a human being connected to every other human being in this world. Many think of these connections in different ways but we are connected, a harmonic life, we effect each other in some way or another. You may not have words to speak out, for yourself, for others, for those lost or found but others have words for you. Find them. Let them reach out to you because there is always hope. I may not know exactly but I'm connected to you and I've been through a rough hard life and I know you have too. I may not understand but I can hold your hand to listen, tie down to reality, or to help walk the path of life.
This is my worship, this is my life- to bring hope back into this broken world without love.
You were created to love and be loved. You were meant to live life in relationship with other people, to know and be known. You need to know that your story is important and that you're part of a bigger story. You need to know that your life matters.
