Been a while since I've done any art. This felt pretty nice.

So, naturally, having a rough go of things again, and, naturally, God used my broken heart to teach me a few lessons. I'll briefly share said lessons with you.

No matter how far you think you are from God... no matter how many times you've fallen flat on your face, come up short, messed everything up, did more harm than good... remember that you're human, and you aren't the first and won't be the last. And even if you think God left you, even if you feel all alone and think there's no way you could be taken back because of the things you've done... You are absolutely, utterly mistaken.

I can assure you that Jesus will never stop loving you, and no matter how many times you fall down, He's going to be there to lift you up and dust you off. No matter how many times you lose heart, He'll be there for you anyway (Matthew 14:22~).

So if you're sitting in a boat on the crashing ocean by your lonesome, waiting, hoping, praying that the Lord will come and save you, that you might be forgiven for having messed up so badly... I assure you Jesus is already sitting right next to you. He never left your side, and He never will.

He's waiting for YOU.

Lyrics by Chris Taylor, Take Me Anywhere

Don’t let me drift too far out to sea
You know that is where I tend to go
I thought I heard somebody say
That you were walking by
Can you find the time to come in and stay awhile?

You can take me anywhere
You want to go, anytime
Just let me know and I will be
Waiting for you
And If I break upon the shore
I will know I need you more
So desperately, waiting for you
You can take me anywhere

There is nothing that can separate
Me from all the grace that you have shown
I know I heard somebody say
That you are walking by
Can you find the time to come in and stay awhile?

We can talk awhile
Anything you want to say is fine
Let me into what is on your mind
Whatever you do don’t leave me behind
Don’t leave me…
