This message is for all the brokenhearted, and all those who are struggling. I just want to tell you… YOU ARE NOT ALONE, YOU ARE LOVED…Just HOLD ON.

This life is not easy we will all face trials and tribulations, some more than others. And sometimes we can get so lost and bogged down in those things that we don’t see a way out. And sometimes we decide that the only way out is to make one for ourselves. But as I have heard it said many times, “Suicide is a permanent solution to the temporary problems of this world.” No matter how long you have been suffering, I assure you with the right help and the right support systems and the love of those around you, there will be a break in the clouds. Life may not be perfect, life may be hard, but when you have someone by your side…a counselor, a friend, a clergyman…you can get through it.

We were not meant to walk this earth alone, nor are we expected to get through all the difficulties that come our way on our strength. We need help, we need to learn how to lean on others. It is not a sign of weakness…it is part of our nature we are social creatures.

So I urge you, if you feel the darkness creeping in and you don’t see a way out, reach out your hand for help. With someone to help you walk the journey you can make it through alive. There are people waiting to talk to you. There are people who care about you and know that your life has value even if you do not see it right now. I believe in the power of HOPE in healing. All it takes is one spark of light to cut through the darkness. Believe in it

HELP IS ALWAYS READILY AVAILABLE 1-800-HOPELINE

My faith and my faith community have played a huge part in my redemption story. They helped me to see the HOPE that was there for my life, and my story. I know that I still walk through trials and sometimes they are overwhelming but I have people there who love me and will help me walk through it. I also have hope that this pain is not forever… “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” Rev 21:4

This song speaks to my heart and I hope it speaks to yours as well.

Psalm 34:18 the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
