More than you can imagine

You're loved more than you could ever imagine. I could scream it to you until I'm blue in the face and some days I wonder if you understand that; His love and understanding no one can fathom; that's how immense it is. I can't even put it into words-the love and mercy of God is just so amazing. I hope you understand this-there's no pit so deep that He isn't deeper still. When you hit rock bottom and feel like darkness is closing down on you, He's there to push it back. When you're alone...well, you're not. He's there. There have been times in my life (years, to be exact) I ran from this and didn't fully understand it. It was just a concept that I heard from a pulpit every Sunday. Really, it had no meaning to me. Because of that, I didn't believe it.

I was dead inside. I don't wish that for ANYBODY. To see other people going down the exact same path kills me. All I want to say to people who may feel like they're unloved, people who feel like they're alone...you're not. Never think that. I spent so much of my life thinking that way and trying to fill a void with stuff that couldn't even begin to measure up to what I needed: love. When I ran in my own direction and realized that the direction I was pulling myself was the wrong one, I turned to see Him standing, waiting for me with open arms to welcome me home. I didn't, and still don't deserve it. I was thinking about the past year in my life and how much that four letter word has done for me; I can't wait to see what happens in the years to come. His Love is amazing, it stretches to the ends of the earth and beyond, it's just indescribable how immense and amazing it is for me. And you. His love is waiting for you, go get it.
