But I'm not a savior. I have not what it takes to save them or turn things around just like that. I am not any better, but I understand how it feels to be lost and alone, where people and things around you just move on without you, leaving you the stranded remains of what happened, to face the reality with. It is a familiar path.
What can I give? I look within and I find not a word of cheer to lift them up with, nor a shoulder strong enough to support them.
So I turned to His words, and onto my hands, He placed these it seems, unto me and my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ I believe. May you who chance upon these words by His grace, find comfort in them. I shall let His words speak for themselves, ending my post with the hope for the day to come, where together with my brothers and sisters, we approach our Savior, recounting the days on earth, sustained nothing more than...His amazing grace.
