Acceptance

acceptance in this world is vital.
you make one wrong decision and your friends abandon you,
your family disowns you,
and everything you have grown to love is gone.

being the kind of person you want to be is overrated
nothing you can do will make you good enough to be part of the "crowd"
you begin to feel lonely and ashamed of who you are.

a dark hole begins to dig deeper and deeper into your being
you feel like a completely different person,
you begin to put on an act infront of everyone.

you convince yourself, and everyone you know that you are ok
you begin to hide your true feelings
deep down inside nobody knows what you are fighting - not even the closest friend.

Feelings of anxiety and remorse fill your heart
your life begins to have no purpose.

THEN

in the blink of an eye..
you are standing to your feet
with thousands of people around you,
each of them with a struggle of their own

IF THEY CAN DO IT WHY CAN'T YOU?

if they can ask their saviour to come and fill their dark hole,
why cant you?

if they can lift their arms in surrender and announce their one love,
why cant you?

if they can show the world their love for one man,
why cant you?

What is holding you back?
what is keeping you from a freedom you have never felt before?
what is telling you lies to keep you burdened?
what is this darkness that is stronger than the light?

the speaker goes on...

if you experience thoughts of suicide..
if you dont think you are good enough..
if you feel like you have nothing to live for..
if you struggle with pornography..
if you struggle with lust..
if you are addicted to things you shouldnt be..
if you have burdens you are tired of carrying..
if you want to be FREE

i ask you to say one thing...
shout it louder than you have ever shouted it..

I WANT MY EYE BACK
I WANT TO KEEP IT..
I WANT TO BE FREE...
I WANT WHAT GOD WANTS FOR ME!



It was that day that I became FREE


*Behold I am with you and I will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will NOT leave you until I have dont what I have spoken to you. - Genesis 28:15
