The world still has beauty for those with the eyes to see
the darkness is only a canvas for the light to paint its power
we still have opportunity
every moment we are given can still be invested for eternity
we may feel like a failure for what we’ve done
but it is amazing how the broken can be mended in the hands of a potter
the change that can come when the created embraces the love of the creator
in the eyes of God
even a sparrow has a special place in nature
if you feel worthless
surrounded and hopeless
take heart
maybe when you open your eyes
and look higher than yourself
you will see things far greater
then you have so far
maybe what was taken from your hands
was only to give you freedom to grasp something better
maybe the opportunity to receive grace
is a reason to have hope tomorrow
and forever
