Intense

It’s been long since I last cried but I am now crying for you.

I wish you could have my gift of forgetfulness so that you will learn to disregard the pain.

I know I will never truly understand what you are going through and I hope I never will.

I do not know how God will use this but I know He will.

Oh, that you will forget the past and dream what the future will bring.

The lie that you think you have lived, I know God will reclaim.

Do not search for explanations for there are many things we could never fathom.

Remember that it was beyond your control, we make our own decisions.

This will take a very long time, it may never even disappear.

All I can do now is to cry out to God so that you will soon find peace and joy.

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
