He loves you. You. For real. No matter what you've done. No matter how many times you've turned your back on him. Or said that he doesn't exist. Or whatever. The dude really loves you. I'm serious! Find your comfort there. With him. If you've got a lot on your plate, give it to him. He'll take it for you.

I'm exhausted and I'm having difficulty thinking straight but I'd love to talk to you about your thoughts and beliefs. It could be one of the most important conversations of your life. And if not, it's still gunna be nice. I enjoy hearing other people's perspectives. :]

"Come to Jesus" by Chris Rice

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
