new beginnings

"the Lord your GOD is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." [zephaniah 3:17]

my broken heart burst into tears when this verse was spoken over me. there is nothing more that i desire than to hear His voice singing over me. i cry out for mercy in the night to be saved. there is a pain on my insides, i'm hurting from all the abandonment and the heartache that this life has caused me, and all i long for is His grace and love.

and yet, here i sit, turning away for fear of this not being real. maybe He doesn't love me. He could easily be to blame for all of this...right? my heart is so torn, and yet so sure....

this is my journey into the heart of a very very broken self. this is me, fighting and dying for a cause i believe in more than the very air i breathe. this is my journey as His beloved.
