Lovely Sad Eyes

Dear Lovely Sad Eyes,
When I hear you speak, it breaks my heart to hear your pain. I can see your confusion and how you long for clarity and understanding of this life. I see you struggling to put words to all of your emotions inside. Your emotion overflows to tears... You're hurting inside and you want it to stop. You're tired of being used, lied to, and mistreated. These people that do these things, you don't want to cut off. You're afraid of being alone. You love, you give, and are left empty handed. Sometimes, you think the only answer is death. In the darkness, there is light and hope; but you don't see it. You sit in the hall, cry, and there seems to be no answer to this madness. You stop caring what people see. You stop caring. Oh how it hurts my heart. My heart aches for you, and I desperately want to fix your broken world. I want to make the pain go away and the depression end. I can't. But believe me, all is not lost. Even in the shadows, there is a glimmer. You say you're not even sure if you believe in God anymore. You're unsure about religion, Christianity... You don't know what is real. Let me assure you, God is real. Far more real than you know. He is there, waiting for you. He screams your name, wanting you to run into His arms! There is the only answer! He is the only one who heals, restores, mends, loves unconditionally, understands fully, gives peace and joy... He is all you need! If only you could see! If only you could see how much He loves you and just how real He is! You will never be alone; He will always be by your side. He will guide you, protect you, give you wisdom, clarity, and direction. My Lovely, go to Him! Everything will make sense and you will finally understand. He is the Source. He is your breath of fresh air. He alone can replace your sad eyes with joy. Trust Him. I'm praying for you. I love you and I can't wait to see God's great plan for your life unfold.
