You know what time it is, right?

FIVE MINUTE FRIDAY!!!

Our prompt word today is: Mess

The idea is to write for five whole minutes without regard to proofing … don’t worry about a thing. Just let the words FLOW!!

Ready?

Set?

GO!

Oh dear one. I see you hurting. I see all that goes on behind your smile. Your silliness tries to disguise it all, but I know you. I know your heart. I know the pain you’re silencing.

You feel like you’re a mess. But, here’s the thing. There is a message in your “mess.”

There is something good that will come from all of this. Today we’re not sure what “good” there could possibly be in ANY of this, but I am clinging to the promise that God has given in HIS word! He has a plan and a purpose for your life, dear one. He does not have plans to harm you but to prosper you, to give you a future and a hope …

Hope.

Hold on, don’t lose hope, darling. I’m here. I’ll help in whatever way I can.

I love you more than you could ever imagine. If only my love could save you. You’d never hurt again!

There’s no mess here. There’s beauty. There’s grace. There’s mercy. There’s love.

There’s something deeper developing from all of this. Your desire to help others is one … it’s a beautiful thing to think that while you’re hurting, your thoughts go to all the others “out there” that are hurting to. You want to help them, to rescue them, to help them, to guide them down a different path.

There’s much to be said about the type of person that you are.

Honey, you’re hurting, and yet you think of others!

You’re not a mess … just like you’re not any of the other things that your head is telling you. Listen to my heart speak to yours.

YOU MATTER!

You’re wanted.

You’re needed.

You’re important.

You’re loved … more than you will ever know in this lifetime or the next.

STOP!
