What are you waiting to be happy and enjoy every moment life and God gives you I just had a heat attack And I'm planning to keep living life to the fullest no matter what Remember we just live once 💕💕
Dear me, congratulations on making it to 25 when you never thought you’d see 18. Congratulations on shedding the trauma, the shame, and the pain. Only the best is yet to come. ✨💜✨
THERE IT IS! GOD BLESS YOU AND BLESS YOU LARGE! EXPAND YOUR TERRITORIES, TAKE AWAY YOUR PAIN... KEEP YOUR HAND ON THIS FINE, INTELLIGENT MAN. I NEED HIM. IS THEE OTHER HALF OF ME! THAT IS "JABEX PRAYER" 4:4-12 CHRONICLES I BELIEVE. OLD TESTIMENT. IN THE MIDDLE OF BOOK, CHAPTERS ETC. OF NOTHING BUT NAMES OF DECENDENTS... AND THEN THIS SHORT MEGA PAIN AND EXPLOSION OF GRAND MIRACLES... ONE MUST INVITE THE GENTLE MAN CALLED "GOD" IN... HE IS NOT PUSHY OR OBNOXIOUS IN ANY WAY... THIS WAS JABEZ'S PLIGHT WITH A NAME HIS MOTHER GAVE HIM, THAT LITERALLY MEANT SORROW, PAIN, OF A MAGNITUDE WE ALL HAVE EXPERIENCED ... MAX LUCADO WROTE A PRICELESS SMALL BOOK, "THE JABEZ PRAYER". I WAS IN A COUNTY JAIL IN YUMA, AZ. BOOKED UNDER THE WRONG NAME, NO ONE KNEW I WAS THERE... NO CONTACT WITH THE UNIT I LIVED ON. I GOT MY SOAP AFTER MY SHOWER... I DO NOT GO TO JAIL... I WAS LOCKED DOWN. NO IDEA WHY... I WAS ALLOWED TO GET 1 BOOK 10 DAYS LATER... I CHOOSE THE BIBLE. I WAS DEVASTATED. GOD HAS BEEN MY CHOICE SINCE I WAS 12. I AM 61 THIS YEAR. WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO PICK ANOTHER BOOK, I WENT TO GO FOR A LARGE BOOK. AND I SAW THIS LITTLE BOOK. I KNEW THEE AUTHOR NAME. AWESOME. MIRACULOUS. COME WITH ME... I WILL LEAD THOSE LEMONS WE ALL RECEIVED, TO LEMONADE OF GREAT PARADISE IN MANY MANY COUNTRIES. MY FATHER GOD, SET ME FREE.😇😊🤗💯💜 🌎 ILLUMINATA 2022
Same. Used to be a Jehovah’s Witness, now I understand the Bible and see how religions twist it. Jesus said he wouldn’t be where people were saying he was, not a part of an organization. All anyone needs is their Bible
"You cannot imagine all the places you'll find Jesus, but you'll find Him everywhere you thought He wasnt supposed to go" This part just rips me to pieces with near bittersweet gratitude because it is so true. A little over two years ago, my best friend passed away (possibly after taking her own life). I knew her for close to eleven years and I was so shocked and devastated when I learned of her death. She passed away after overdosing on things in her medicine cabinet for sleep and I learned from her passing that she had an eating disorder, (bulimia). I went to my local youth group a week or two after hearing the news and broke down to the girls there when we were sharing what we would like to be prayed for, and I shared her passing. And her eating disorder and how it broke my heart to learn of her suffering. After I collected myself enough to function and the circle broke apart, a girl I'd never spoken to approached me and told me she had an eating disorder and that what I said about my friend made her want to get help and reach out. And in that moment, I broke down again and realized that God can make beauty out of anything, be it a garden or a forest of ashes. A life was loved and lost and that love was passed along and I witnessed a miracle I didnt fathom how desperately I needed to see. So, that's my story and ty for anyone who read it; if you're hurting, please keep fighting and I hope this might help anyone who needs to hear this 💙 look for God in all places; He's always there and always will remain.
Thankyou for this encouragement I am sorry for your loss it is never easy when someone close to you dies I know I said somethings yesterday and I want to take them away but I feel like I can't I want to think about the best in people but I can't I feel like it was my fault that I got abused and that I got harrased. I know it's not my fault but it feels like it is I want the pain and suffering to go away but I know God will use it for good just like you shared your story and God used it for good I believe that will happen someday and one day the hurting and crying and pain will stop and I will be with the one true God I find hope in knowing that I will be in heaven one day and everything will stop and everything will be so peaceful so loving and so joyful environment I can't wait for that day to come. Wether I see Jesus on this Earth or in heaven I can not wait to see Jesus face 2 face one day I don't know what that will look like but I can't wait for it to happen.

Lord, forgive me... for all my mistakes. All the times i failed you. All the times i didnt listen. All the times i didnt trust you. Every time i failed to be patient and messed up so hard because of it. Im so sorry. Im so sorry... i made irreversable mistakes i know... but ... could you help me with this? Im drowning... i cant find my way out... i need you to save me as you saved my soul.... i cant rise alone like this... my chains made of my mistakes and wrong decisions are so heavy.. help us all
Subila Kabaghe will pray for you my dear. He leaves the 99 to find the one. you are His precious one. He’s reaching out to. keep going. don’t let go of His hands, He’s still holding on to yours.
I always pray to bring me happiness and joy so do love but I know and believe maybe the god already make me a better place somewhere so I pray to God just take my life and guide to a home
Dear Amy, You've been scrolling down for the last couple of years to this comment section, and you've been listening to this song more than you wrote your diary. Dear Amy, thanks for being strong. Thanks for letting go of what we have to let go of. Thanks for never stop asking questions and seeking answers. Thanks for always being the authentic you. I know that today we are facing a huge challenge once more, but I'm so proud of you for choosing this way, for being brave in what you believe. We've been come so far, remember the day you realized that we are no longer insecure, that I found you smiling and walking through the breeze. You've been brave and amazing. Thanks for being Amy, thanks for being my best friend ❤️ I always love you, 23 years old Amy
My heart. I felt every word of that. Almost as if you were speaking directly to me. My name is Amy, I am 23 years old. The strength you desibed is the strength I have been finding. Today, I was faced another huge challenge, and am so incredibly proud of choosing love and kindness. I have never felt more directly spoken to by a stranger...I love you Amy.
I understand how u feel hun, I was and still kinda am the same way but im getting there. If u don't understand it thats fine, I don't as well and its confusing, but Ik one thing I was in a bad spot and I eventually prayed he answered over time. Although u don't understand it and u don't bealive it sometimes it helps, I personally dont live my life as a full blood christain, theres things I don't bealive in that are in the Bible but u bealive how u want and don't let no one tell u ur bealives are wrong be who u are and if over time u want to try the christain community then try it but u don't have to live exactly how they think 💕
Dear me, don’t hurt yourself, don’t overthink about things they say..stop letting them hurt you..stay happy and never stop telling god your problems..❤️i miss the old me🥲
You’re in the makes of a better version of you everyday. Conquering and learning and growing. Such a beautiful walking piece of art. You are still you and you are an amazing you that no one else can be. You may not be who you were back then but just like a caterpillar takes time to transform, so do you and it’s going to be beautiful! Love the you today because the you today deserves it from getting through what the you got through in the past, and celebrate what the new you has to come. ✨ Be the masterpiece you are and OWN it✨

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross . . . Amen, Will
AMEN my friend.. AMEN! 🙌🏻 Those are the most beautiful words and truest facts! I needed to read them today and everyday. So, thank you so much for posting them 😊
I may not be a Christian, but I can and will respect Jesus and his followers. Unless they use Jesus to hate those who don't follow him. Jesus honestly seems like a chill bro, and I will be damned if I say I wouldn't get a drink with him. Peace and love y'all
Are you a musician or just someone with great taste ? If you’re interested in evidence? Check out Eric Metaxas: is Athesim Dead? Every guest is cool on Socrates in the city
I appreciate the message, but I would put to you a question posed by cs Lewis, Jesus was a great moral teacher, but he made no secret about claiming to be the son of god and the only way of salvation. So if you believe him to be a moral teacher,there are three ways to reckon with that 1. he is both a liar and a great moral teacher, which feels contradictory 2. He’s a lunatic and a great moral teacher, and it’s hard to find many madmen in history who were great moral teachers 3. He is exactly who he says he is. Not expecting to convert anyone with a UA-cam comment, but I feel like it’s a train of thought worth exploring.
Okay. I'm a Muslim and this song just made me cry. After all, we are all humans. So can't we just take a moment and forget all the differences and pray for everyone, for each other, for all of us. Before being a Muslim, a Christian or an atheist etc, we are humans. So spread love, respect and harmony. It's what being a human means. So guys, let's start this #HumansAfterAll campaign and show Love&Peace to everyone✌ #HumansAfterAll
Your post made me smile! This song touched me also! Know you are Loved! Be yourself, for you were made unique. In hard times find your inner strength. Best description of Christ for me is, LOVE. No matter what you believe, know you are accepted, loved, and complete in our maker. Peace and Joy to you!
Similar happened to me. I believe in nothing, no religion. I found myself cleaning the house and humming lyrics about God(this song). The lyrics are so humble and the voice sounds calm and she's modes but optimistic. Maybe this song is about the good inside us. There is so much bad in reality, that when something good happens, some say it's divine. I wish divine becomes normal. Then we'll set up higher the standard for miracles, if the good happens everyday to all of us. I am talking about heaven on earth. No one will ever like to live in peace. Would u ever watch a whole movie about something that has no intrigue? Just good stuff from the beginning to the end. Sounds cheesy. Bad is good. Makes us appreciate good.
I used to not believing God too. But when I was in hopeless and I thought my life was end( I had panic disorder for almost 5yrs), Jesus save me heal me and give me a new life. I just wanted to tell you Jesus loves you❤️🤗
Dear me, this is you now 23 and still fighting of all pressure and battle in life.. Even you want to disappear on your 17 years old. Just always remember that keep going until you live a happy life that you want...
I think my favorite aspect of the song is that she is patient with herself. She's not beating herself up for her mistakes. We should be patient with ourselves and others.
I’m struggling so hard with my past right now , coming from a sexually, mentally and physically abusive adopted home ! As I sit with my 26 year old daughter who is battling Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia and I thank these people for making me the mother I am today ! I thank Jesus for always being there but at times I still question “ why me lord?” Thank you for this beautiful song
Omg bless you currently I'm 15 and adopted and that's alot especially with what you've gone through and u mentioned God I'm not gonna assume your religious tho and if u are thats great you should listen to NF I love his music hopefully is speaks some truth to you he prolly has like one frfr Christian song but the rest are just what he's been through idk it helps me ❤
It's ok to be afraid. Rather than saying "don't" to yourself, maybe better to start to learn the fear protected by that wall you create, embrace it, and accept it. Only then maybe you will understand yourself and befriend with your soul 😉
Dear me, I'm sorry I tried to end your life and scarred your body. I'm sorry you suffered and no one was there to help. I'm sorry that you spent 7 years of your life in pain and used your days to come up with ways to end your suffering. I'm sorry you had to grow up broken and afraid. But I'm not sorry that you made mistakes because you have learnt and now you are surviving. I'm proud that you have made it this far and are still going strong. I'm so happy that you haven't scarred your skin in 5 months and are healing, mentally and physically. Dear me, thank you for finally living.
Keep your head up, keep the boat sailing, scars need to be the call of the future not to do it again... You'll make it somehow, be proud of who you are !
Wow, I totally forgot I wrote this. Alot happened in 2 years. I've found a purpose in life and I'm doing alot better. I havent cried in a couple months, other than at movies and dramas, and I do not harm myself at all anymore. I still do have problems with my mental health, but nothing serious. Thank you for your comments, and if anyone is reading this that is experiencing what I have and alot of others in the world have then I hope you know that it does get better. After suffering for so long, you start to understand and grow. Personally for me, I found things that made me happy and I surround myself with them everyday. I set a goal out for myself, I found things that inspired me and I became stronger. You dont need other people to make you happy, yes it is lonely and hopefully you have someone still by your side, but the only person who can make YOU happy is yourself. I believe that the most important thing in life is loving yourself. Find a way to love yourself because you are the most important person in your life. Dont make mistakes based on the feelings of loneliness, make them based on what makes you truly happy. Believe in yourself and trust yourself. Remember, "We were born to be real, not to be perfect".
Dear me, I miss seeing you have that carefree childish nature and I’m sorry you had to grow up so soon, I’m sorry you don’t have control over your own mind most of the time, I’m sorry that you’ve dealt with things I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemy, and I’m sorry I can’t always protect you like I should but I’m glad you’re finally happy with your life after a rough 2 years even though your life is far from perfect I’m just hoping that you get to stay this happy, you haven’t smiled this much in the longest time Thank you to anyone who read all of that I’m sure all of your lives will brighten up eventually as well and remember your uniquely perfect and beautiful in your own way no matter what you’ve been told
@@earthfriendlyvloger It doesn't look like praying hands to me, just sayin😂😂 This is what I see: 👃🏻 Praying hands?: 🙏🏻 Oh yeah they do kind of look alike🤣
Dear me you don't need the family that abused you. Leave your parents in the past. And you will be an amazing mama. And your kid's will not have to heal like you
Dear you, yes it's OK to cry! By accepting that sadness is one of feelings that human have, enough to prove that you are strong person. Thanks for being strong and try to be strong 😻 a hug for you 😊
“Jesus loves us…and there are no exceptions” THIS is the gospel I’ve been looking for and can’t seem to find in the Christian community at large. What an anthem❤️
She’s allowed to define love as this song goes. You’re speaking about “the hoops” Nicole sings about. You love first. You love 100%. That’s when miracles happen. Not through judgment. Start with loving yourself. And pls listen to this song.
Spot on! This is Jesus in practice. Simple yet miraculous. Jesus cried for justice. Jesus sat at all the tables. The mothers and the empty arms. So much of Christian community forgets about Jesus’ actions in the name of politics, culture war, just war
@@governor7203 I am free to give my love to those deserving. Why was I gifted with the ability to love if not to share it to those around me? Why is there no choice? Don't you choose to follow God's word actively every day? Don't you wake up and agree to spread His word? That is also a choice.
I get your pain. Expressing what we’ve experienced isn’t judgmental it is necessary to have a safe community to share in. So healing and true connection can happen. I loved and cared for people regardless of where they came from and I got blackballed several times. Thank God for his prefect will but if it doesn’t work because of mean people he has an acceptable will for people who get the raw end of the deal. I can still love, pray & have compassion and guard my heart and my life. And yes be used greatly by God! Love this song because it was the way God chose to heal and restore my life. In order for my adult self was to be healed & restore I would have to team up with Jesus to rescue the little girl I was who took all the “punches” that caused me to become a very broken woman! It was an incredible experience and it landed me right into the calling and purpose of my life!!! I had to unlearn much of what I was taught in church that entrapped me more and truly developed that personal relationship with him. He becomes a personal Lord & Savior when we get personal with him. He undid what kept me in bondage and gave me a life I never thought I would have. I didn’t have a church home or community but he did something amazing in & through me in my own home because he knew I got unfairly treated many times than I can count but I clung tight to my Jesus who loved me regardless!!!!! #unconditional LOVE!!! 😊❤
Dear me, you'd never guess that you're in love with this amazing boy that your parents want you to break up with. You'd never imagine how far you're gotten in your relationship with God. He loves you so much. You'd do anything to have that happiness. In 2 months you'll be going off to a college where you don't know anyone really. Live your life. Love with all your heart, even if it's long distance. It's so worth it, no matter what anyone else says. God has a plan for your life🤍
Dear Old me.. I miss your innocence and brave heart 😭😭😭 I miss your kindness and childish happiness..... I wish the old me flies back to me....and make us smile with your kindness..... 👸👯
He was always there. Dear me.. let loose the family you thought would help you through all torment of your childhood that continued until adulthood. Yes you had to cut the ties to save your children … so they wouldn’t live your life. Jesus doesn’t hate you for that. Hello me. Thank God, he was always there. I ignored him but he didn’t leave me. I didn’t feel worthy. Gave water and food to the homeless but I wouldn’t give them money:( I went and saw the starving families in Africa when I was 16 and I left the church because… I saw the evil of man but I never did loose touch… with Jesus. And he was there when I called.
Dear me, I'm writing this on 8th June to say: God have seen all of your tears and he is in the command right now. When you came back here you will see how amazing things he had done in your life. Keep dreaming and keep fighting. He loves you more than anything. Dont be afraid and love yourself. ✨❤
This song says such a truth: "Sit at all the tables, cause Jesus eats with everyone", but it misses that Jesus never sat on a table just to eat but to teach, and to change lives! Loving the sinner but rejecting the sin. That's something our generation has forgotten and it's so worrying! Be careful, please! Freedom should not be confused with debauchery! Those who love you will bring you closer to God! God bless you all!
I stumbled accros this last year when I was at my lowest point. A year later, still find myself immersed in the words, in the melody, in the mood of this song. Whoever reading this, you are strong and you are amazing. You will be alright, everything will be fine
That's right... Thank you for this reminder. IAM fine. I am okay... and I'm going to be okay. Everything's going to be okay. His plans for me/are Good! I never get tired of this song! (Replying to a comment)
This has hit me even harder with the coronavirus and all of the protesting and shooting that has been happening between cops and people of America… It hits hard and I cry every single time I hear her sing” cry for justice loud and long and march with the victims as Jesus marches on”
That's exactly right! I was excited about 2020, but turns out it's the worst year ever. Kobe Bryant, corona, police and others getting killed, destroyed reminders that show us how much we've grown as a country. This is a nightmare.
It's so sad to see the reality that killings are everywhere.. Things are given values but not lives.. How bad it would be imagining someone suffers much for a simple problem.. That's why most people tend to live in dreams, yet we have to face a cruel reality..
Since everyone is leaving their letters to themselves, here's mine (i just wanna share if you don't mind) Dear me, I hope your smiles will go back to being real again. And not just pretense. I hope you'll get through your pain not alone but with God. If ever you think of ending yourself, please hang in there. Don't end it ok? Please don't listen to what others say about you. Don't let it make you feel small. (I'm literally crying at this point and it 12:00 am already 😅). Know that your battles will be worth it one day. And remember this, I LOVE YOU and I WANT YOU TO LIVE YOUR LIFE IN THE WAY OF GOD.
I’m not a Christian, but I can still appreciate the message of how you need to stand up for what you believe and if you don’t something to change things no one will
When she says "I said those things", I felt that. Because I did the same things. And then I learned different. Now, I'm trying my best to fight for those who need it. I decided to become the someone who tried to fix things.
This song really hit me hard. I was listening to some of her other songs then I heard this one and I cried. I've been dealing with my faith a little bit, and I've been focusing on my acting career more than focusing on him. Apart of me felt like I was writing that letter, and the other part of me felt like i was reading the letter.
Because you're right. I AM that I AM the ME in YOU the YOU in US the US in WE the WE in THEM the THEM in THEY the THEY in ALL but to THEM I AM a stranger and ALL has been lost which is why it's ALL about us WE are THEY that can bring THEM home. I LOVE YOU ask questions Seek language word by word like the Black and Clever Bird
Ananda Santos you may not know but, God has such an incredible plan for you when you get out of this. You might feel like you lost yourself but, you are way closer than you think
Dear me, We've been through so much, loss, heartbreak, hunger, unemployment and abuse but we are still here. I hope no matter what else life throws at you, you will remain strong. Never again should you try to shrink away in order to be accepted in order to feel like you belong. Never forget the lil girl you were, the woman you became and never forget your slefworth and remember that you dont need others to make you believe that you matter its all up to u. Nvr forget how beautiful, smart and amazing you are. Someday we might change the world but now keep working on yourself
Dear me: you had it tough, right? After a year and six months, your dark cloudy sky cleared. You don't cut anymore, your self steem is higher too. Stop being harder on yourself, because I know your standards to yourself are higher than the ones you set it in people. Learn to fail too, and rise stronger than before! You got this Tessa.
Dear Me, I am proud of you for holding on I am proud of you for keep walking I am proud of you I am proud of you for believing Even when you couldn't see yourself beyond that moment I am proud of you I am proud of you for being here I am proud of you for just choosing To believe that God cares even when your situation said otherwise I am proud of you. I am proud of you for never giving up Don't you ever give up! I am so proud.
Dear me you have made it through so much Loss and pain but you have made it almost 55 years I am so proud of you for not taking your life all the times you wanted to
I love this because I think that it truly captures the emotions of being young and making mistakes but learning to live and realize that we are all human and that God loves us all no matter what. We all make descions that we are not proud of but we are going to get over it and be a survivor. I hope she sees this but you inspire me. I am a survivor. ;
Tsunami Cow I regret allot of things in my life like....self harming.....or being really mean to my family and so much more. I am only 13 and I was diagnosed that I suffer from anxiety and depression at 11 and I started self harming at 11 and trying to kill myself but mt family still doesn't know. And now my favorite cousin who uses to self harm and who uses to help me through my depression says there is no hope for me. I will stop writing bcuz i am crying so bad right now. I am trusting in God more which is good
Tsunami Cow thank you so much. Right now I was really needing someone to tell me something like to stay strong and things happen for a reason. I have been really depressed lately and my boyfriend hasn't done anything to help. Thank you sister
Dear me I know life is very hard and you are tired of crying silently every night. I know there is no one who truly love you and you are on the verge of giving up...... But I know good things are coming to you and you will be happy soon, so please don't give up
❤😂❤ world peace don't worryeye be happyeye yeye yeyemanin in negosyo please please please please please please please please please Ninagiradosittijellieyeyeshakira I want to live and love gusto ko na gumaling patawarin sa kasalanan nagawa Nasabi at naiisip Ngayon and habang nabubuhay yes amen thank you
Dear anyone who sees this, You all rock! You all are amazing! You all are beautiful humans and please don’t forget that. We have a sisterhood of sorts and we shouldn’t be ashamed of what unites us. Stay strong and I hope each of you have a professional to share your stories with. Healing can be a long road and that’s ok😊 xoxoxo 💌
I was having argument with my family and I cried so much then I opened UA-cam and see that song it was on the time oh my god and i feel that the lyrics was wrote for me!! I really miss the girl i was used to be and I can’t take it any more.
I'll pray for you but I'll bound to forget and stop one day so I'll tell you a secret Christ prays for you to in luke: 22:31-32 I learned this truth and I have found comfort that the Lord is praying for me not just myself
dear me, how long did it take for you to come back here again? im 17 rn and i came back to this song after 4 years. i just finished crying because i solved chemistry questions. i had always been the top student but after a levls started it hasn’t always been the best. ik you promised to not let your parents pay for your university and give them the best life. i believe in you just like how i believe in the 8, 13 year old you. since you came back here , what is reason? do you feel sorry for yourself again? or are you here to tell you that you have done it, you are living the life you dreamt of when you were 8? i know you have made it, im very proud of you and i love you
I cried through this whole song. I have been so selfish, praying for happiness and good days. Thank You God for loving me despite my human condition, thank You for loving who I am despite my wanting to change. Thank You for all the opportunities and love you've given me. I have a roof over my head, food in my stomach, a warm bed to sleep in, and a family who loves me. I only pray that some day I could see the world as You did, Jesus, and love everyone despite their mistakes. Amen.
I agree with this, it's hard for me to have patience sometimes with others when I feel hurt and I want to love like Jesus did but realize I never will. I am an imperfect human but I can work every day to be a little more understanding of others, patient, and kind. I need to keep this phrase in my mind and heart "forgive them father for they know not what they do."
I am 29 years old and this song hit the spot. It took me back to where I would have wanted to tell my past self to push through the misery and become stronger then as my life was not easy, simple, or peaceful due to the way I grew up and being bullied for years. I wouldn't change my past because it is what made me stronger, wiser, gave me a loving husband and hopefully a child. This is my advise for my future child but also to share with everyone who under 18. You are loved no matter what. The path to heaven is not easy just like those back country roads. Each branch, rock, or issue along that path is a test you will face. Keep faith, hope, and believe in your heart and know God is with you. Know that he loves you. Knowing he is with you always when you push through those tests is a victory in itself. Never give up on God, Jesus, hope, and love.
Dear me im 40 I just learn to walk away from my past . I choose peace over fake it was heartbreak ik how to walk away now from guys who hurt me. I pray for my future to be better, I go with God more. Learn to love myself and help others around me more.
I heard this song a while ago, and like the rhythm so I saved it. Recently I've been going through a lot, and I was sinking in my music, and this one popped out. I finally listened to the words, and once she spoke about how Jesus loves us, I broke down crying. My heart became lighter and I am so thankful that this woman wrote this song, she has brought me back to the light.
Dear me, Remember when you said you can do it? Yes you can, you can go through this. I know it's a part of your journey and you'll have more as you go on but I believe you are strong and courageous. Those sleepless nights, tears on your pillows shows how strong you are. Right now, believe God is in control. People might judge you, they might think you're useless but sooner or later you'll prove them wrong. You will achieve your goals. So, stay still. Think positive. We can do this. ❤️❤️
Dear me, I know you've been through a lot growing up but remember that when no one believes in you ,it doesn't mean you shouldn't believe on yourself . They never knew your story and they can't judge you ,but in the world we live in everyone thinks they have the right to correct your every move ,those those are the people you need to stay away from and also it's not your fault your sensitive it's their's for being insensitive. And it's never good to hurt yourself just because you think it's whats need to be done or you deserve it, because you don't, you made mistakes like everybody else ,you made great things just like everyone, you suffer just like everybody else, we all been through tough times so respect everybody else just like how you want to be respected. I love you . (Pls reply the things that made you suffer for years and years without you even realizing till now)
I suffered from a toxic friendship , i thought i had a perfect friendship back then , then i realize why do i have to hurt myself just to fit in ,yea those kids who thought having cuts in their arms look dramatic and asthetic and cool, but ended up not so good...
I'm not sure if Nichole Nordeman reads her comments but her music is really good! You don't hear her on CCM radio but she continues to come out with music that can only be inspired by the Holy Spirit. She needs to keep coming out with her music! Love her, and her message
dear me, i never meant to hurt us, it was an honest mistake. a mistake our younger self made, one that we knew we would truly regret. as of now it's still hunting us but I hope one day we would overcome this. I hope we never come to a decision that would permanently harm us.
My grandma passed away yesterday November 10th, 2021 I sang this song multiple times, but this time was different...I felt tingles all over and chills I've never felt before...It's amazing what God can do to us and for us and all we have to do is believe in us and him and he will help us all...
I'm not religious either and neither is Jesus - He just loves, loves, loves, loves ❤ once you start your journey with Him, you love, love, love, love too 😊❤
bby snek There’s something.. Jesus is not a religion.. he want a relationship with you.. He love you and he cares about you.. Christianity is not a religion.. it’s a relationship with God.. I use to not believe in him but now.. he change me.!
A scraped knee is better than a broken heart. Im only 13, and ive gone thru a lot of heartbreaking times. To be young and happy, and not worry, about money, friends, family, boys... Oh. I would give anything to go back to when i was a princess with a magic wand, that took worry away...
To all though struggling. You are amazing. You are you. You are loved. You are loved by God Almighty. He wants you to run to Him. He is calling you home. You will make it through this. You are stronger than this. Whatever you are going through will pass. Your smile is beautiful. You are beautiful. You are wonderful. I am praying for you all. Don't doubt yourself. Don't listen to yourself when you feel like you should give up, give in, stop fighting. Keep on fighting. You can do this. You CAN do this, and you will. ❤
Dear me I wish I can be the old me💔 then stop going there and be the best u can be now without all the bad and God always on ur side🙌🙏🙌...never let God go🙏
YES! Oh my God, "Hold all the mother's who's Children bleed with bullet holes". This song hits me so hard. Thank you for speaking truth to a church who has become so bloated and angry and corrupted. I'm in tears for the first time in a long time by a "Christian" song. This makes my heart soar.
Kevin Carter that like stings for me. I work in a school that is 98 percent black. Our cops are trider happy towards them. It hurts because I love my kids. I know some of them have been really hurt by the cops. It hurts cause those are my kids. I work with women who have to worry about there kid when they get pulled over by a cop. I don't because I am white. It's not right they shouldn't have to worry about that.
It's been years that a "Christian" song has touched me like this as well.. A friend sent this this morning.. I didn't expect to react w tears.. But The TRUTH has a way of touching us..LOVE touches us..
Same here, I can listen to this song again and again but that line has me in tears every time. Every word from her mouth is exactly how I feel. I was raised in a "Christian" church that brainwashed me into thinking horrible things about other people. It took years for me to rewire my mind into not being terrified of going to hell for the smallest things. My church kicked me out when I spoke against their hate. This song hit me so hard because I can't even describe what it was like to rediscover what God's love REALLY is.
This really hits the feels. I've been forgetting how much God loves us, and I have been doing so many bad things. All I need to remember to get me through, is God always there for me. I will get there soon, but in a good way. Not bad ways.
Dear me, Where did it all go wrong. I miss the old me. The version of me who didnt know the hardships of life. The version of me who didnt have to mentally bear the weight of an adult at 13. Ths version of me who didnt use pillows to hide her sobs. The version of me who use to be excited to see friends or excited to wake up on a morning. The version of me who had dreams and never gave up on them. What happened to those versions of me. I lost them along time ago.
Dear me, Thank you for living, even though things got hard. Now I look back, and I'm glad I was able to persevere, to not end my life. I'm sorry I scarred myself, about the horrible things I said to the people who were just trying to help me. I'm sorry that I used people, hurt them, abused them, and broke them. I wish now that I hadn't been so cruel, I know now that they were only trying to help. I love that I'm alive, I love the simple pleasures I never would've gotten, like Ice cream, Baking, Friends, Long nights with the people that I love most, For being able to sit here and write this today, without the people that I hurt and abused, I wouldn't be here. Thanks for reading this, Donna.
Dear me, give yourself time for with time youll see that the future us made the right decision in this moment for better us....you are much special and great than you can imagine...smile and give it time...Love you
Dear me, I am sorry for being so hard on you and forgetting to let you pat yourself on the back for the amazing things you do! You are very strong and I want you to laugh more and be happy because Jesus got you through it all!❤
I actually cried yesterday. I screamed at God. I have endometriosis so I sometimes have the most severe and intense pain I can imagine. I was sobbing I couldn't breathe I was hurting so bad and screamed in my head "DO YOU JUST HATE ME GOD! YOU SAY YOU LOVE EVERYONE BUT THIS CAN'T BE LOVE. YOU LOVE EVERYONE BUT ME IS THAT YOUR RULE! AM I THE EXCEPTION!" I cried I couldn't take it a few hours later the pain finally subsided. I was up listening to music and doing my homework and at that point it was almost 1 in the morning. I wasn't paying attention to the music when this song started playing. I had never heard this song before and when it mentioned Jesus I stopped because I had been listening to secular music and I sat confused and I listened to the song and the line "but Jesus loves us this I know and there are no exceptions" made me break down in tears I sobbed for the second time that day but this time I was sobbing because he responded. I was certain my angry prayer would go unanswered. I still knew God existed that never changed but I started to think he was lying. He reached out and played a song that was nothing like what I was listening to but somehow exactly what I needed to hear. I cried because someone cared. God cared.
As I am listening to this song, I am having goosebumps. I tend to doubt myself these days. Thank you so much God for letting me here this song. I feel better. Thank you so much for this song!!!
dear katrina, you might be at you're lowest point right now and got no one to open up about what you're going through and been enduring your depression for months and for that I'm proud of you for not being defeated by your depression; someday you can be confident, happy and living your life to the fullest... it's all gonna be okay..
I have thought we can write love letters in envelope and leave where he led you in spirit and those do so like this that we all come in volume of a book of love letters just like he left the greatest love. Letter on our table and all int t room see light on our feet when we walk. With our love of God our testimony we left a. Blessing like him

I used to be religious... Then I got to know Jesus better. Now, I'm a believer & a disciple.
Same. Used to be a Jehovah’s Witness, now I understand the Bible and see how religions twist it. Jesus said he wouldn’t be where people were saying he was, not a part of an organization. All anyone needs is their Bible
Hallelujah
BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PEW WARMERS & TRUE BELIEVERS! Wish I knew that in 2001!
Religion is for me people who don’t know God is already inside them!
"You cannot imagine all the places you'll find Jesus, but you'll find Him everywhere you thought He wasnt supposed to go"
This part just rips me to pieces with near bittersweet gratitude because it is so true.
A little over two years ago, my best friend passed away (possibly after taking her own life). I knew her for close to eleven years and I was so shocked and devastated when I learned of her death.
She passed away after overdosing on things in her medicine cabinet for sleep and I learned from her passing that she had an eating disorder, (bulimia).
I went to my local youth group a week or two after hearing the news and broke down to the girls there when we were sharing what we would like to be prayed for, and I shared her passing. And her eating disorder and how it broke my heart to learn of her suffering.
After I collected myself enough to function and the circle broke apart, a girl I'd never spoken to approached me and told me she had an eating disorder and that what I said about my friend made her want to get help and reach out.
And in that moment, I broke down again and realized that God can make beauty out of anything, be it a garden or a forest of ashes. A life was loved and lost and that love was passed along and I witnessed a miracle I didnt fathom how desperately I needed to see.
So, that's my story and ty for anyone who read it; if you're hurting, please keep fighting and I hope this might help anyone who needs to hear this 💙 look for God in all places; He's always there and always will remain.
yeah
you were right, FINDING GOD IN ALL THINGS ! AMEN.
Thankyou for this encouragement I am sorry for your loss it is never easy when someone close to you dies I know I said somethings yesterday and I want to take them away but I feel like I can't I want to think about the best in people but I can't I feel like it was my fault that I got abused and that I got harrased. I know it's not my fault but it feels like it is I want the pain and suffering to go away but I know God will use it for good just like you shared your story and God used it for good I believe that will happen someday and one day the hurting and crying and pain will stop and I will be with the one true God I find hope in knowing that I will be in heaven one day and everything will stop and everything will be so peaceful so loving and so joyful environment I can't wait for that day to come. Wether I see Jesus on this Earth or in heaven I can not wait to see Jesus face 2 face one day I don't know what that will look like but I can't wait for it to happen.
Thanks 4 sharing...😢
Dear me, I am sorry for all the pain I have caused you these last two years I pray that this year that’s coming we live in peace
Amen
be strong like i used to
God loves you!
God loves you more than you can imagine...with all compassion
AMEN!

Dear Amy,
You've been scrolling down for the last couple of years to this comment section, and you've been listening to this song more than you wrote your diary.
Dear Amy, thanks for being strong. Thanks for letting go of what we have to let go of. Thanks for never stop asking questions and seeking answers. Thanks for always being the authentic you.
I know that today we are facing a huge challenge once more, but I'm so proud of you for choosing this way, for being brave in what you believe.
We've been come so far, remember the day you realized that we are no longer insecure, that I found you smiling and walking through the breeze. You've been brave and amazing. Thanks for being Amy, thanks for being my best friend ❤️ I always love you,
23 years old Amy
Dear Amy,
Thanks for writing that.
This made me cry
Dear Amy, thank you for existing ❤
Dear Amy,
I am proud of you for not giving up. :)
My heart. I felt every word of that. Almost as if you were speaking directly to me. My name is Amy, I am 23 years old. The strength you desibed is the strength I have been finding. Today, I was faced another huge challenge, and am so incredibly proud of choosing love and kindness. I have never felt more directly spoken to by a stranger...I love you Amy.

I'm not religious at all, but I almost cried at the end of this song.... beautiful, with such an amazing meaning
Jesus loves you. Trust him. Repent and trust in Him.
Religious or not, this song is beautiful
Jesus doesn't love religious people only he love us all.....especially the one who doesn't know him yet🤗
I understand how u feel hun, I was and still kinda am the same way but im getting there. If u don't understand it thats fine, I don't as well and its confusing, but Ik one thing I was in a bad spot and I eventually prayed he answered over time. Although u don't understand it and u don't bealive it sometimes it helps, I personally dont live my life as a full blood christain, theres things I don't bealive in that are in the Bible but u bealive how u want and don't let no one tell u ur bealives are wrong be who u are and if over time u want to try the christain community then try it but u don't have to live exactly how they think 💕
@@meganslonesings no. You need to respect that they aren't religious.
Dear me, don’t hurt yourself, don’t overthink about things they say..stop letting them hurt you..stay happy and never stop telling god your problems..❤️i miss the old me🥲
You’re in the makes of a better version of you everyday. Conquering and learning and growing. Such a beautiful walking piece of art.

Love the you today because the you today deserves it from getting through what the you got through in the past, and celebrate what the new you has to come. ✨ Be the masterpiece you are and OWN it✨
You never changed. You're still you. It's just that it's hidden deep.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

Bro that line made me cry
Same here
Ngl this is reminding me of what has been happening in Gaza for quite a few decades now- 😢 (I'm sorry- /g)
I may not be a Christian, but I can and will respect Jesus and his followers. Unless they use Jesus to hate those who don't follow him. Jesus honestly seems like a chill bro, and I will be damned if I say I wouldn't get a drink with him.
Peace and love y'all
Definitely same here
If someone does that they will be judged. Jesus really does live.
Well, if you do not believe in Christ, the christian bible dooms you to an afterlife in hell, so, I am not sure about “chill bro”.
Are you a musician or just someone with great taste ?
If you’re interested in evidence? Check out Eric Metaxas: is Athesim Dead?
Every guest is cool on Socrates in the city
I appreciate the message, but I would put to you a question posed by cs Lewis,
Jesus was a great moral teacher, but he made no secret about claiming to be the son of god and the only way of salvation. So if you believe him to be a moral teacher,there are three ways to reckon with that
1. he is both a liar and a great moral teacher, which feels contradictory
2. He’s a lunatic and a great moral teacher, and it’s hard to find many madmen in history who were great moral teachers
3. He is exactly who he says he is.
Not expecting to convert anyone with a UA-cam comment, but I feel like it’s a train of thought worth exploring.
Okay. I'm a Muslim and this song just made me cry. After all, we are all humans. So can't we just take a moment and forget all the differences and pray for everyone, for each other, for all of us. Before being a Muslim, a Christian or an atheist etc, we are humans. So spread love, respect and harmony. It's what being a human means.
So guys, let's start this #HumansAfterAll campaign and show
Love&Peace to everyone✌

And I'm crying. Thank you.
Your post made me smile! This song touched me also! Know you are Loved! Be yourself, for you were made unique. In hard times find your inner strength. Best description of Christ for me is, LOVE. No matter what you believe, know you are accepted, loved, and complete in our maker. Peace and Joy to you!
Fonzygirr Your reply has made me happy. Thank you! Peace and joy to you, too. Have a great day. C:
Similar happened to me. I believe in nothing, no religion. I found myself cleaning the house and humming lyrics about God(this song). The lyrics are so humble and the voice sounds calm and she's modes but optimistic. Maybe this song is about the good inside us. There is so much bad in reality, that when something good happens, some say it's divine. I wish divine becomes normal. Then we'll set up higher the standard for miracles, if the good happens everyday to all of us. I am talking about heaven on earth. No one will ever like to live in peace. Would u ever watch a whole movie about something that has no intrigue? Just good stuff from the beginning to the end. Sounds cheesy. Bad is good. Makes us appreciate good.
I used to not believing God too. But when I was in hopeless and I thought my life was end( I had panic disorder for almost 5yrs), Jesus save me heal me and give me a new life. I just wanted to tell you Jesus loves you❤️🤗
That’s ok, you can believe whatever is in your heart. This world isn’t about religions and wars, it’s about love
Dear me, this is you now 23 and still fighting of all pressure and battle in life.. Even you want to disappear on your 17 years old. Just always remember that keep going until you live a happy life that you want...
I think my favorite aspect of the song is that she is patient with herself. She's not beating herself up for her mistakes. We should be patient with ourselves and others.
Dear me
You are stronger than you ever gave yourself credit for as well as your worth.
Yes, you are...
I’m struggling so hard with my past right now , coming from a sexually, mentally and physically abusive adopted home ! As I sit with my 26 year old daughter who is battling Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia and I thank these people for making me the mother I am today ! I thank Jesus for always being there but at times I still question “ why me lord?”
Thank you for this beautiful song
Thank you for your beautiful message
Congratulations for the journey you have reached and hopefully you still continue it 👍👍
I'm so sorry. God bless you ❤️
How is your daughter now? I hope she is now well xx
Omg bless you currently I'm 15 and adopted and that's alot especially with what you've gone through and u mentioned God I'm not gonna assume your religious tho and if u are thats great you should listen to NF I love his music hopefully is speaks some truth to you he prolly has like one frfr Christian song but the rest are just what he's been through idk it helps me ❤
Dear me,
I miss you.
Don't keep building up your walls miles high; you don't need to be afraid.
I love you
It's ok to be afraid. Rather than saying "don't" to yourself, maybe better to start to learn the fear protected by that wall you create, embrace it, and accept it. Only then maybe you will understand yourself and befriend with your soul 😉

Dear me,
I'm sorry I tried to end your life and scarred your body. I'm sorry you suffered and no one was there to help. I'm sorry that you spent 7 years of your life in pain and used your days to come up with ways to end your suffering. I'm sorry you had to grow up broken and afraid. But I'm not sorry that you made mistakes because you have learnt and now you are surviving. I'm proud that you have made it this far and are still going strong. I'm so happy that you haven't scarred your skin in 5 months and are healing, mentally and physically.
Dear me, thank you for finally living.
Keep your head up, keep the boat sailing, scars need to be the call of the future not to do it again... You'll make it somehow, be proud of who you are !
You will be in Christ's prayers
Luke 22: 31-32
Keep your head up princess ..before your crown falls😊
Wow, I totally forgot I wrote this. Alot happened in 2 years. I've found a purpose in life and I'm doing alot better. I havent cried in a couple months, other than at movies and dramas, and I do not harm myself at all anymore. I still do have problems with my mental health, but nothing serious.
Thank you for your comments, and if anyone is reading this that is experiencing what I have and alot of others in the world have then I hope you know that it does get better. After suffering for so long, you start to understand and grow. Personally for me, I found things that made me happy and I surround myself with them everyday. I set a goal out for myself, I found things that inspired me and I became stronger. You dont need other people to make you happy, yes it is lonely and hopefully you have someone still by your side, but the only person who can make YOU happy is yourself. I believe that the most important thing in life is loving yourself. Find a way to love yourself because you are the most important person in your life. Dont make mistakes based on the feelings of loneliness, make them based on what makes you truly happy. Believe in yourself and trust yourself.
Remember, "We were born to be real, not to be perfect".

Dear me,
I miss seeing you have that carefree childish nature and I’m sorry you had to grow up so soon, I’m sorry you don’t have control over your own mind most of the time, I’m sorry that you’ve dealt with things I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemy, and I’m sorry I can’t always protect you like I should but I’m glad you’re finally happy with your life after a rough 2 years even though your life is far from perfect I’m just hoping that you get to stay this happy, you haven’t smiled this much in the longest time
Thank you to anyone who read all of that I’m sure all of your lives will brighten up eventually as well and remember your uniquely perfect and beautiful in your own way no matter what you’ve been told

Just gotta make sure we have the same definition of love. Love doesn't mean free to choose, free to love, free so sin...
She’s allowed to define love as this song goes. You’re speaking about “the hoops” Nicole sings about. You love first. You love 100%. That’s when miracles happen. Not through judgment. Start with loving yourself. And pls listen to this song.
Spot on! This is Jesus in practice. Simple yet miraculous. Jesus cried for justice. Jesus sat at all the tables. The mothers and the empty arms. So much of Christian community forgets about Jesus’ actions in the name of politics, culture war, just war
@@governor7203 I am free to give my love to those deserving. Why was I gifted with the ability to love if not to share it to those around me? Why is there no choice? Don't you choose to follow God's word actively every day? Don't you wake up and agree to spread His word? That is also a choice.
I get your pain. Expressing what we’ve experienced isn’t judgmental it is necessary to have a safe community to share in. So healing and true connection can happen. I loved and cared for people regardless of where they came from and I got blackballed several times. Thank God for his prefect will but if it doesn’t work because of mean people he has an acceptable will for people who get the raw end of the deal. I can still love, pray & have compassion and guard my heart and my life. And yes be used greatly by God! Love this song because it was the way God chose to heal and restore my life. In order for my adult self was to be healed & restore I would have to team up with Jesus to rescue the little girl I was who took all the “punches” that caused me to become a very broken woman! It was an incredible experience and it landed me right into the calling and purpose of my life!!! I had to unlearn much of what I was taught in church that entrapped me more and truly developed that personal relationship with him. He becomes a personal Lord & Savior when we get personal with him. He undid what kept me in bondage and gave me a life I never thought I would have. I didn’t have a church home or community but he did something amazing in & through me in my own home because he knew I got unfairly treated many times than I can count but I clung tight to my Jesus who loved me regardless!!!!! #unconditional LOVE!!! 😊❤
Dear me, you'd never guess that you're in love with this amazing boy that your parents want you to break up with. You'd never imagine how far you're gotten in your relationship with God. He loves you so much. You'd do anything to have that happiness. In 2 months you'll be going off to a college where you don't know anyone really. Live your life. Love with all your heart, even if it's long distance. It's so worth it, no matter what anyone else says. God has a plan for your life🤍
Dear me, u thought u wont make it till 17 but now ur turning 18 in november, im so happy for i, keep fighting for that singing career i believe in u

He was always there. Dear me.. let loose the family you thought would help you through all torment of your childhood that continued until adulthood. Yes you had to cut the ties to save your children … so they wouldn’t live your life. Jesus doesn’t hate you for that. Hello me. Thank God, he was always there. I ignored him but he didn’t leave me. I didn’t feel worthy. Gave water and food to the homeless but I wouldn’t give them money:( I went and saw the starving families in Africa when I was 16 and I left the church because… I saw the evil of man but I never did loose touch… with Jesus. And he was there when I called.
Dear me,
I'm writing this on 8th June to say: God have seen all of your tears and he is in the command right now. When you came back here you will see how amazing things he had done in your life. Keep dreaming and keep fighting. He loves you more than anything. Dont be afraid and love yourself. ✨❤
I'm glad life is going up :)
Going through the comments and I hope things are amazing now. Sending you love and peace
😭😭..... 🙏
I keep coming back to this song every couple years and reminiscing and all of the lessons I’ve learned and memories I’ve made.
This song says such a truth: "Sit at all the tables, cause Jesus eats with everyone", but it misses that Jesus never sat on a table just to eat but to teach, and to change lives! Loving the sinner but rejecting the sin.
That's something our generation has forgotten and it's so worrying! Be careful, please! Freedom should not be confused with debauchery!
Those who love you will bring you closer to God!
God bless you all!
I stumbled accros this last year when I was at my lowest point. A year later, still find myself immersed in the words, in the melody, in the mood of this song. Whoever reading this, you are strong and you are amazing. You will be alright, everything will be fine
Please be fine too, be happy for yourself and for the others, you're amazing too
It's been a year Namiko 🐣 I hope you've been well all this time ☃️
That's right... Thank you for this reminder.
IAM fine. I am okay... and I'm going to be okay. Everything's going to be okay. His plans for me/are Good!
I never get tired of this song!
(Replying to a comment)
This has hit me even harder with the coronavirus and all of the protesting and shooting that has been happening between cops and people of America… It hits hard and I cry every single time I hear her sing” cry for justice loud and long and march with the victims as Jesus marches on”
That's exactly right! I was excited about 2020, but turns out it's the worst year ever. Kobe Bryant, corona, police and others getting killed, destroyed reminders that show us how much we've grown as a country. This is a nightmare.
@@ashleybritton2584 Yes but look at every year the same, we've all had bad things happen and it's to make us grow!
Me too... me too.
this song really hit me
It's so sad to see the reality that killings are everywhere.. Things are given values but not lives.. How bad it would be imagining someone suffers much for a simple problem.. That's why most people tend to live in dreams, yet we have to face a cruel reality..
Since everyone is leaving their letters to themselves, here's mine (i just wanna share if you don't mind)
Dear me,
I hope your smiles will go back to being real again. And not just pretense. I hope you'll get through your pain not alone but with God. If ever you think of ending yourself, please hang in there. Don't end it ok?
Please don't listen to what others say about you. Don't let it make you feel small. (I'm literally crying at this point and it 12:00 am already 😅). Know that your battles will be worth it one day.
And remember this,
I LOVE YOU and I WANT YOU TO LIVE YOUR LIFE IN THE WAY OF GOD.
I’m not a Christian, but I can still appreciate the message of how you need to stand up for what you believe and if you don’t something to change things no one will
Dear old me, you did well..I'm so proud of you
When she says "I said those things", I felt that. Because I did the same things.
And then I learned different. Now, I'm trying my best to fight for those who need it. I decided to become the someone who tried to fix things.
Dear me, it is almost 7,5 years since I've survived. Never give it up, you are amazing ❤️
This song really hit me hard. I was listening to some of her other songs then I heard this one and I cried. I've been dealing with my faith a little bit, and I've been focusing on my acting career more than focusing on him. Apart of me felt like I was writing that letter, and the other part of me felt like i was reading the letter.
Kyrie R x2
Because you're right. I AM that I AM the ME in YOU the YOU in US the US in WE the WE in THEM the THEM in THEY the THEY in ALL but to THEM I AM a stranger and ALL has been lost which is why it's ALL about us WE are THEY that can bring THEM home.
I LOVE YOU ask questions
Seek language word by word like the Black and Clever Bird
We're all the same I am also lost I wanna die. But I should continue my journey
Ananda Santos you may not know but, God has such an incredible plan for you when you get out of this. You might feel like you lost yourself but, you are way closer than you think
Kyrie R Woow
Dear me,
People care about you. People would miss you. Life is worth it. Your eating disorder doesn't define you, but you deserve to get help. 💞
wow, what a Missionary's heart she has, I love the message of this song!!
I wish there was an option to love your comment!❤️💫
Dear me,
We've been through so much, loss, heartbreak, hunger, unemployment and abuse but we are still here. I hope no matter what else life throws at you, you will remain strong. Never again should you try to shrink away in order to be accepted in order to feel like you belong. Never forget the lil girl you were, the woman you became and never forget your slefworth and remember that you dont need others to make you believe that you matter its all up to u. Nvr forget how beautiful, smart and amazing you are. Someday we might change the world but now keep working on yourself
Thanks for being bestfriend if yourself 🐣 and yes you won't ever forget that lil amazing girl, because that lil girl will always be you.
Love this one day we may change the world but for now keep working on yourself.
Dear me: you had it tough, right? After a year and six months, your dark cloudy sky cleared. You don't cut anymore, your self steem is higher too. Stop being harder on yourself, because I know your standards to yourself are higher than the ones you set it in people. Learn to fail too, and rise stronger than before! You got this Tessa.
Dear old me, hold on because tomorrow is almost near, please hold on.
Just a little longer.
It's gonna be alright if you look at the light. Jesus's shining light. He loves you and in Him you can find peace.
God loves you. Really.
A year later, my friend; you made it..you made it through so many tomorrow's
Dear Me,
I am proud of you for holding on
I am proud of you for keep walking
I am proud of you
I am proud of you for believing
Even when you couldn't see yourself beyond that moment
I am proud of you
I am proud of you for being here
I am proud of you for just choosing
To believe that God cares even when your situation said otherwise
I am proud of you.
I am proud of you for never giving up
Don't you ever give up!
I am so proud.
I'm proud of you for being the bestfriend of yourself too ❤️
Beautiful
I'm so proud of what everything I achieved
I love that its helping me move on and start fresh
Dear me you have made it through so much
Loss and pain but you have made it almost 55 years I am so proud of you for not taking your life all the times you wanted to
I love this because I think that it truly captures the emotions of being young and making mistakes but learning to live and realize that we are all human and that God loves us all no matter what. We all make descions that we are not proud of but we are going to get over it and be a survivor. I hope she sees this but you inspire me. I am a survivor. ;
Amen. We are survivors
Tsunami Cow I regret allot of things in my life like....self harming.....or being really mean to my family and so much more. I am only 13 and I was diagnosed that I suffer from anxiety and depression at 11 and I started self harming at 11 and trying to kill myself but mt family still doesn't know. And now my favorite cousin who uses to self harm and who uses to help me through my depression says there is no hope for me. I will stop writing bcuz i am crying so bad right now. I am trusting in God more which is good
Tsunami Cow thank you so much. Right now I was really needing someone to tell me something like to stay strong and things happen for a reason. I have been really depressed lately and my boyfriend hasn't done anything to help. Thank you sister
Indeed. It's a really inspiring song.
Lover Baby Sweetie, I am 39 and I hope you get all the help you need, reach out, you have a life ahead! 😍
Dear me
I know life is very hard and you are tired of crying silently every night.
I know there is no one who truly love you and you are on the verge of giving up......
But I know good things are coming to you and you will be happy soon, so please don't give up
Dear 3 year old me your going to be ok pain is only temporary ❤🥰🫶🏻I love you little me ❤❤❤
Dear me,
I still miss you...
please hold on. The only person you NEED is Jesus; don't forget that :')
I love you.
"cry for justice loud and long and march with the victims as Jesus marches on” This hits hard.

Dear Me... wanting to be happy and not live miserable does not make you a sinner. Dear me... remember that you saved yourself.
Dear anyone who sees this,
You all rock!
You all are amazing!
You all are beautiful humans and please don’t forget that. We have a sisterhood of sorts and we shouldn’t be ashamed of what unites us. Stay strong and I hope each of you have a professional to share your stories with. Healing can be a long road and that’s ok😊
xoxoxo
💌
Thank you I needed that
me to
Healing I've come to learn is about the journey not the destination.
❤❤❤
I was having argument with my family and I cried so much then I opened UA-cam and see that song it was on the time oh my god and i feel that the lyrics was wrote for me!! I really miss the girl i was used to be and I can’t take it any more.
I'll pray for you but I'll bound to forget and stop one day so I'll tell you a secret Christ prays for you to in luke: 22:31-32 I learned this truth and I have found comfort that the Lord is praying for me not just myself
I will also pray for you
Jishwa Is So Dun With You thank u I’m actually better now
Dear washii I’m better now 🥹♥️♥️
dear me,
how long did it take for you to come back here again? im 17 rn and i came back to this song after 4 years. i just finished crying because i solved chemistry questions. i had always been the top student but after a levls started it hasn’t always been the best. ik you promised to not let your parents pay for your university and give them the best life.
i believe in you just like how i believe in the 8, 13 year old you.
since you came back here , what is reason?
do you feel sorry for yourself again? or are you here to tell you that you have done it, you are living the life you dreamt of when you were 8?
i know you have made it, im very proud of you and i love you
God brought me to this song. I needed it in my life. ❤ Thank you for this beautiful song.
"the mothers and the empty arms..." this was the point when I literally burst out crying.. so much meening in so few words
Hey, Can u read this..?
Congrnz then.. You are still alive..😍🤗
I cried through this whole song. I have been so selfish, praying for happiness and good days. Thank You God for loving me despite my human condition, thank You for loving who I am despite my wanting to change. Thank You for all the opportunities and love you've given me. I have a roof over my head, food in my stomach, a warm bed to sleep in, and a family who loves me. I only pray that some day I could see the world as You did, Jesus, and love everyone despite their mistakes. Amen.
Wanting to be happy does not make you selfish...
I agree with this, it's hard for me to have patience sometimes with others when I feel hurt and I want to love like Jesus did but realize I never will. I am an imperfect human but I can work every day to be a little more understanding of others, patient, and kind. I need to keep this phrase in my mind and heart "forgive them father for they know not what they do."
Also myself internalize this when I'm having trouble forgiving myself or beating myself up so terribly with shame.
I am 29 years old and this song hit the spot. It took me back to where I would have wanted to tell my past self to push through the misery and become stronger then as my life was not easy, simple, or peaceful due to the way I grew up and being bullied for years. I wouldn't change my past because it is what made me stronger, wiser, gave me a loving husband and hopefully a child.
This is my advise for my future child but also to share with everyone who under 18. You are loved no matter what. The path to heaven is not easy just like those back country roads. Each branch, rock, or issue along that path is a test you will face. Keep faith, hope, and believe in your heart and know God is with you. Know that he loves you. Knowing he is with you always when you push through those tests is a victory in itself. Never give up on God, Jesus, hope, and love.
Dear me im 40 I just learn to walk away from my past . I choose peace over fake it was heartbreak ik how to walk away now from guys who hurt me. I pray for my future to be better, I go with God more. Learn to love myself and help others around me more.
Doing great
My faith has been a lot stronger since I've listened to this song
I heard this song a while ago, and like the rhythm so I saved it. Recently I've been going through a lot, and I was sinking in my music, and this one popped out. I finally listened to the words, and once she spoke about how Jesus loves us, I broke down crying. My heart became lighter and I am so thankful that this woman wrote this song, she has brought me back to the light.
The cold, hard truth is God said 'love everyone' and Man said 'everyone except...'
But we can all learn better, and we can all grow.
Dear me,
Remember when you said you can do it?
Yes you can, you can go through this. I know it's a part of your journey and you'll have more as you go on but I believe you are strong and courageous. Those sleepless nights, tears on your pillows shows how strong you are. Right now, believe God is in control. People might judge you, they might think you're useless but sooner or later you'll prove them wrong. You will achieve your goals. So, stay still. Think positive. We can do this. ❤️❤️
Dear me 🥺 thank you for letting him go 😪 you deserve so much better.... Don't take him back . & Am sorry
Dear me,
I know you've been through a lot growing up but remember that when no one believes in you ,it doesn't mean you shouldn't believe on yourself . They never knew your story and they can't judge you ,but in the world we live in everyone thinks they have the right to correct your every move ,those those are the people you need to stay away from and also it's not your fault your sensitive it's their's for being insensitive. And it's never good to hurt yourself just because you think it's whats need to be done or you deserve it, because you don't, you made mistakes like everybody else ,you made great things just like everyone, you suffer just like everybody else, we all been through tough times so respect everybody else just like how you want to be respected.
I love you .
(Pls reply the things that made you suffer for years and years without you even realizing till now)
I suffered from a toxic friendship
, i thought i had a perfect friendship back then , then i realize why do i have to hurt myself just to fit in ,yea those kids who thought having cuts in their arms look dramatic and asthetic and cool, but ended up not so good...
💔Dear me, Jesus loves us, this i know.
I'm not sure if Nichole Nordeman reads her comments but her music is really good! You don't hear her on CCM radio but she continues to come out with music that can only be inspired by the Holy Spirit. She needs to keep coming out with her music! Love her, and her message
dear me,
i never meant to hurt us, it was an honest mistake. a mistake our younger self made, one that we knew we would truly regret. as of now it's still hunting us but I hope one day we would overcome this. I hope we never come to a decision that would permanently harm us.
My grandma passed away yesterday November 10th, 2021 I sang this song multiple times, but this time was different...I felt tingles all over and chills I've never felt before...It's amazing what God can do to us and for us and all we have to do is believe in us and him and he will help us all...
Dear Me,
Some day I'm gonna make you proud. Everything you've been through is all part of the plan 💕
I'm not religious either and neither is Jesus - He just loves, loves, loves, loves ❤ once you start your journey with Him, you love, love, love, love too 😊❤
i'm not even religious and i'm crying...
bby snek There’s something.. Jesus is not a religion.. he want a relationship with you.. He love you and he cares about you.. Christianity is not a religion.. it’s a relationship with God.. I use to not believe in him but now.. he change me.!
Nows as good a time to start
Faith is a relationship, one freely offered by Him, with love everlasting. 🙏💜🦋
Dear me, I miss those days when you didn’t know about love 😔
I got shivers reading this. How painfully true. Oh, to be young and free of new feelings
A scraped knee is better than a broken heart. Im only 13, and ive gone thru a lot of heartbreaking times. To be young and happy, and not worry, about money, friends, family, boys...
Oh. I would give anything to go back to when i was a princess with a magic wand, that took worry away...
To all though struggling. You are amazing. You are you. You are loved. You are loved by God Almighty. He wants you to run to Him. He is calling you home. You will make it through this. You are stronger than this. Whatever you are going through will pass. Your smile is beautiful. You are beautiful. You are wonderful. I am praying for you all. Don't doubt yourself. Don't listen to yourself when you feel like you should give up, give in, stop fighting. Keep on fighting. You can do this. You CAN do this, and you will. ❤
Thank you for this🤍
Dear me I wish I can be the old me💔 then stop going there and be the best u can be now without all the bad and God always on ur side🙌🙏🙌...never let God go🙏
YES! Oh my God, "Hold all the mother's who's Children bleed with bullet holes". This song hits me so hard. Thank you for speaking truth to a church who has become so bloated and angry and corrupted.
I'm in tears for the first time in a long time by a "Christian" song. This makes my heart soar.
Kevin Carter that like stings for me. I work in a school that is 98 percent black. Our cops are trider happy towards them. It hurts because I love my kids. I know some of them have been really hurt by the cops. It hurts cause those are my kids. I work with women who have to worry about there kid when they get pulled over by a cop. I don't because I am white. It's not right they shouldn't have to worry about that.
It's been years that a "Christian" song has touched me like this as well.. A friend sent this this morning.. I didn't expect to react w tears..
But The TRUTH has a way of touching us..LOVE touches us..
Same here, I can listen to this song again and again but that line has me in tears every time.
Every word from her mouth is exactly how I feel. I was raised in a "Christian" church that brainwashed me into thinking horrible things about other people. It took years for me to rewire my mind into not being terrified of going to hell for the smallest things. My church kicked me out when I spoke against their hate. This song hit me so hard because I can't even describe what it was like to rediscover what God's love REALLY is.
Pray for Syria :'( Innocent Children being killed in the most terrible way that you cant even see it if you keep a heart.
That line hits me like a ton of bricks, too! Powerful!
Dear me,
One day you'll read this and realize that the shame you carry from what they did to you was never yours to carry.
This really hits the feels. I've been forgetting how much God loves us, and I have been doing so many bad things. All I need to remember to get me through, is God always there for me. I will get there soon, but in a good way. Not bad ways.
Dear me,
Where did it all go wrong.
I miss the old me.
The version of me who didnt know the hardships of life.
The version of me who didnt have to mentally bear the weight of an adult at 13.
Ths version of me who didnt use pillows to hide her sobs.
The version of me who use to be excited to see friends or excited to wake up on a morning.
The version of me who had dreams and never gave up on them.
What happened to those versions of me.
I lost them along time ago.
Dear me,
You are strong, sorry for being weak. To old me, thank you for being happy but sorry for being depress. I miss you.
Dear me,
Thank you for living, even though things got hard.
Now I look back, and I'm glad I was able to persevere, to not end my life.
I'm sorry I scarred myself, about the horrible things I said to the people who were just trying to help me.
I'm sorry that I used people, hurt them, abused them, and broke them.
I wish now that I hadn't been so cruel,
I know now that they were only trying to help.
I love that I'm alive, I love the simple pleasures I never would've gotten, like Ice cream,
Baking,
Friends,
Long nights with the people that I love most,
For being able to sit here and write this today, without the people that I hurt and abused, I wouldn't be here.
Thanks for reading this, Donna.
Dear me,... I’m sorry for all the starving, and all the pain I have put you through 😪
Dear me, give yourself time for with time youll see that the future us made the right decision in this moment for better us....you are much special and great than you can imagine...smile and give it time...Love you
Dear me, I am sorry for being so hard on you and forgetting to let you pat yourself on the back for the amazing things you do! You are very strong and I want you to laugh more and be happy because Jesus got you through it all!❤
I actually cried yesterday. I screamed at God. I have endometriosis so I sometimes have the most severe and intense pain I can imagine. I was sobbing I couldn't breathe I was hurting so bad and screamed in my head "DO YOU JUST HATE ME GOD! YOU SAY YOU LOVE EVERYONE BUT THIS CAN'T BE LOVE. YOU LOVE EVERYONE BUT ME IS THAT YOUR RULE! AM I THE EXCEPTION!" I cried I couldn't take it a few hours later the pain finally subsided. I was up listening to music and doing my homework and at that point it was almost 1 in the morning. I wasn't paying attention to the music when this song started playing. I had never heard this song before and when it mentioned Jesus I stopped because I had been listening to secular music and I sat confused and I listened to the song and the line "but Jesus loves us this I know and there are no exceptions" made me break down in tears I sobbed for the second time that day but this time I was sobbing because he responded. I was certain my angry prayer would go unanswered. I still knew God existed that never changed but I started to think he was lying. He reached out and played a song that was nothing like what I was listening to but somehow exactly what I needed to hear. I cried because someone cared. God cared.
Dear Lydia, Thank you for sharing some of your story. We all need God, and we need each other. Love and Blessings your way, from a grandma of 10
As I am listening to this song, I am having goosebumps.
I tend to doubt myself these days.
Thank you so much God for letting me here this song. I feel better.
Thank you so much for this song!!!
dear katrina,
you might be at you're lowest point right now and got no one to open up about what you're going through and been enduring your depression for months and for that I'm proud of you for not being defeated by your depression; someday you can be confident, happy and living your life to the fullest... it's all gonna be okay..
I have thought we can write love letters in envelope and leave where he led you in spirit and those do so like this that we all come in volume of a book of love letters just like he left the greatest love. Letter on our table and all int t room see light on our feet when we walk. With our love of God our testimony we left a. Blessing like him
Dear me, dont cry about the past. In the future you will realize the past is what make you, you
Don’t forget that bad mistakes plus time leads to hysterical funny stories
“A period of darkness is essential in order to expand personal awareness. Experiencing sadness and loss makes a person appreciative of life, more tenderhearted, and open to living life as an ecstatic journey of discovery.” ― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

i lost my parents in a same year.....Be brave self ..
Dear me, I know it's hard, but God will give me courage to get through it. In the future I'll be so proud.
True and Amen 😇
I come back to this song every few years, and every time it hits hard in a different way.
