RUN TO JESUS
(c)2003 Stephanie Durand Whatley
When the waters are deep...
and you can't swim...
When the tide of tears come ashore...
when life is just too hard for living....
When all around you...
have given up on you....
Run to Jesus...
Run to Jesus.......
Whose arms await your soul...
Peel away the pain..
the loneliness...the shame...
Run..run to Jesus..
He's waiting to wash away the pain...
the guilt...the shame...
He will wipe off the blood of your sin....
You're making your way to Him...
and run ..run...to Jesus....
He is the peace, the everlasting life....
He will be your will to live...
He will carry your burdens for you....
He will clean you of your sin...
So run now....and don't look back......

This song/poem is dedicated to a young teenage boy that ended his precious life this year. We wish that he would have known that he had a friend to run to with his pain. Lord, we lift up all teenagers that are trying to cope and are giving up hope. Don't ever give up on life! Pain passes away over time...please give yourself time to heal, because your journey has just begun, and believe me, you have so much to live for. I suffered from anorexia when I was a teenager and I went through some very, very, painful times, but you have to hang on for the loved ones, and believe me, there are a lot of people who love you or are waiting to love you! Remember, you can't see the future. You have to believe in the things you cannot see. You have to reach out, you have to pray, you have to stay strong and know that tomorrow will come, and tomorrow is one step closer to healing. Through your pain, you can help others. We all suffer pain and heartache, but we have to remember that life is a journey, a journey that you do not want to miss, I promise you. Don't take the easy way out, it is not God's plan. He created you, he engraved your name on his hand, and He has a plan for you.....trust him to see you through; let him carry you when you are too weak to stand. Tell someone the truth about your life....the truth WILL set your free....from your pain, your shame, your guilt, your loneliness, or a sin that you think is unforgivable. That's why Jesus died...so that you could go on. He loves you THAT much. Live for him!
"Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Cor 4:16-18
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
