You Sent Me The Stars

I remember the sun
I remember the day
I remember the heat
From Your Glorious Rays
I could hold my head high
I could smile happily
I could feel confident
Because you were with me
Your Word deep in my heart
Songs of praise on my lips
You said You'd never leave
I had You in my grips
But then the sun sank down
Slowly the darkness came
Suddenly all alone
Why did You go away?
In the blackness of night
I sat sobbing with grief
My instinct to survive
Caved in to disbelief
I saw the wolves and snakes
Their glowing teeth and eyes
I felt myself transform
Into one of those guys
I knew that wasn't me
Because I'm not like them
I needed a way out
I needed Light again
So I cried out to You,
"Please show me that You're here
I need You back with me
I need You to be near."
My head was lifted up
My eyes were opened wide
I stood on my two feet
And then I realized
You had never left me
To suffer all these scars
All I needed to do
Was look up at The Stars...


Back before maps, flashlights, GPS, and other similar technology, someone looked up all the stars and made an ingenious discovery.  The stars are patterned in such a way, one could be guided from here to there just by following the stars.  The Word of God is a Light in a cold, dark world.  God's Words are our stars. 


You are never alone.  You are not a victim of your circumstance.  You are not a failure.  You are not defined by your mistakes.  God's Love is greater than all those obstacles in your path.  God's Love is strong enough to lift you up, wash you clean, and set you on The Path to Righteousness.  And even when you are distracted and lose your way, you can be guided back to Him by meditating on His Word.


All of creation has a purpose.  Temptations are built to strengthen our faith.  There is no struggle we can't overcome with God.  Have faith and...


LOOK UP AT THE STARS!
