Broken pieces.

Hiding. I used to hide behind my mom when I was little because I was too shy. Or hide behind a door playing hide and go seek with my older sister. When I got older, I was hiding something much bigger. I was hiding my broken heart behind my smile. My past involves depression that occasionally comes back to haunt me at the most random moments. I can be having the time of my life and one second later, I feel like my world is crashing down. I would fake a smile everyday so no one would question me or my thoughts. Behind that smile was a broken girl who felt lost in the world and felt worthless, unwanted, and shattered. I always felt like I was trying to be someone completely different and that no one wanted me around. I always felt like the outcast and that no one would even notice if I was gone. These thoughts would take over and control my life. When I got saved, I thought my life would be so much easier. Let me tell you, it's not a walk in the park. Some days, the devil will take hold and try and tear you apart...DON'T LET HIM TAKE OVER. When you feel so alone in this world, turn to Jesus...He will never leave you or forsake you. I am still that same broken girl, but here is the difference. I now have hope. Hope in knowing He is God. King of all Kings. Turn to Jesus. He is willing to take those broken pieces of your heart and mend them back together. Cling to the truth of knowing that He is mighty and just. For He makes all things new. "That however is not the way of the life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." -Ephesians 4:20-24
