in his arms

i fall hard. i bleed deep. but i also laugh without inhibition. my joy is real and rooted in a firm foundation. i want to live on purpose. i always ran away from mediocrity. that is a good thing, except it's a bad thing when it gets mixed with my stupid pride.
today my heart was broke open for the hurting children of this world. i have been so swallowed up in my pride i had forgotten my purpose here on this earth. caught up in so many other things. even though i know i am in the right place, i really have been somewhere else. if everything were to be stripped away from me, where would i look to for my identity? i am willing to give everything up, but i dont want to wait for that to happen for me to realize Who gives me breath, what i am living for. My God is a LOVE greater than life, a love that defeats death. i am honored to be able to share this love with others, and i wont let anything stop me.
Lord, keep those kids warm tonight. May those who are hurting know that you are the hope they have been searching for.
