To the Tired and Weary Soul

Get some rest

Be true to yourself
when everything around you
is falling apart
and things begin to look unfamiliar.
Sure the landscape has changed
people are scattered
and our hopes feel uncertain
shaken and dim.

People in your life may leave you
you may feel isolated and left out
but there is one person who's never left you
and that is the person within you.
You have been a good friend to others
you have been loyal and faithful to family
you could even be kind to a stranger
now won't you be good to your self?

When you begin to love who you are
you will begin to learn who you really are
the One who created you will come beside you
and strengthen you to complete your journey.
While the world spins out of control
in faith hold on to your Creator
have faith in the One who fashioned you
He will tide you through the storm.

Your journey doesn't end in this world
you are a rider destined to journey through eternity
you are a soul that has to weather ups and downs
in this life and you still have to learn some lessons.
If you get tired and break down now
you will lose your strength, your focus
you need to regroup and rebuild yourself
this world needs you that is why the Creator made you.

There is something very precious deposited in you
which no one else can give to this world.
Don't you believe those who only want to tear you down
their lies will grieve your heart and tear your soul if you let them.
If you cannot trust yourself, trust your Creator
He invested so much in you, He knows you and loves you
He will carry you when you are tired
and rejuvenate you when you need rest.

There are days written in your book by the Creator
He who planned your life knows when to call you home
Time in this body is finite
but time as a soul is infinite.
Live every day given to you with joy
For some given day each will leave this body
and fly away to meet their Creator
for everyone born must someday die.

The time you have on earth is precious
for you choose how to spend it.
It is a gift you give someone to treasure
so choose how you spend it with care.
Why stay in a prison of grief and sorrow
when every day invites you to smile?
Why cry for what has been when you can dream
and your dreams can make this world a better place?
