First of all, I have some pretty darn amazing friends. Jammin' to some real good soul tunage and reading "purpose for the pain." Um, I have read the first page front and back and I'm already in love. Let me just let you read....
"I handed you the key to let you in, you never told me you wouldn't leave anything standing (you left nothing standing) you trashed everything and took all that I had. The sad thing is I would have given it to you if you asked (why didn't you ask). So now I sit here amidst the rubble and I think that I blend in. My heart broken in pieces. Scattered meaninglessly across the floor. A trail that leads only to you (and I won't follow). I'm damaged goods. Mark the price down. Redline sale - 50% off (because no one buys). Who will want me now? But go ahead to your trophy room and add one more to your collection. Another check on your pricy shopping list - and now on to the next item... Is that all I am?"
Holy smokes. So deep and so good. The craziest part is I know EXACTLY how this feels. But the best part is, I don't have to feel like this. To some people I may be just an item and I may be worthless but the only one that matters thinks that I am worth dying for! For real, my God loves me so much that I don't have to be an item, I'm much more. He shows me that I am much deeper than that. The love I feel and the love I express is better than life, it's better than feeling crappy. SO GOOD. So in love with my Lord. I'm thankful for feeling the way this girl did in the book because now I fully understand and appreciate what it is to know that I am more than an item. Rock awesome.
