Mercy

Five years ago today, I was at my lowest point. I was at a place that was too far gone and too broken to ever be repaired. The broken state of the world and my soul weighed so deep I couldn't take it. I was unbelievably broken. Everyone around me was either living in denial or had given up. But God had not given up.

God reached down and showed me His mercy that would never give up on me. He showed me who He is and who I am because of that. He showed me himself and for the first time ever, I let Him in. 

Five years ago I said goodbye to everything and everyone I knew and got on a plane. I was picked up by a stranger and brought to a treatment center where they said they could help me. What I didn't know is that the only reason they could help me was God's unrelenting love. Thank you for showing God's love to me when I didn't deserve it.

I still sometimes see someone too far gone or wounded, but I know that somehow God sees beauty beyond belief when He sees me. He will make a miracle out of me. He rescued my life, and I choose to believe that there is a divine purpose in that.
