"just one more hit"

How many times are they going to run back to the things that constantly hurt them? How many times are they going to say " i wanted to escape reality." They're so much better than that. They deserve the world but the world has hurt them, told them that they don't deserve anything and that the lowest they could get is the highest they are ever going to achieve. F*** u society. They are beautiful, sometimes you have to dig harder to find the beauty but it's there.... waiting to be draw to the surface so others can see and marvel. They give up their rights, give up who they are to help other, bend over backwards to make life easier for everyone else. They don't understand that they need to worry about themselves for once. And just when you think that they've finally got it, when you think that you've finally had a win, they relapse, and it seems as though everything that you've worked for, every little win is shot out the door. I know that's not true and that all of those conversations and wins have all made a lasting impact and that there really is change going on inside of them... I just want the best for them... want them to see their true beauty. they beauty that was created by a Daddy in Heaven who looks at them and doesn't see dirty, broken, raw girls but a Daddy who sees beautiful, flowers in bloom, perfectly created with gifts and passions. and then there's the devil, feeding them the lies that they don't need to hear... sometimes it makes me want to completely give up. to be completely done. But then Jesus shows me how much He smiles on them, how He marvels at the little things that they do, How much it breaks His heart to see them cut themselves because they're so broken. Jesus, how do we do what we're called to and make a difference in their lives? Pour into them, teach them, cover them, consume them. They are desperate, craving for something real and new, marvelous, something completely consuming. Something that will come out in a way that only they can understand, an experience with their Creator that is so new and uniquely crafted for them, a experience that radically shakes everything that they've ever thought. A experience that shows them, displays relevantly the true, pure, organic love of God.
He's marvelous, wonderful, majestic. There's nothing like Him, nothing like getting to spend time in fellowship with our Creator, the one who knew me before i was even thought of by my family. He is the one who is always there, never ever leaves me, never deserts me, places His hand on me, reprimands me lightly, sometimes strongly :), holds me in His arms when i'm hurting, His is my best friend, my Father, my lover, my provider, He's my everything.... thank you Lord for allowing me to be Your child. You are beautiful. Please touch our kids... touch them in a new way that they have never ever experienced before... I'm believing that You are going to do things that we never could have imagined in us as leaders and in our students. thank you in advance for the things that you are stiring and the things that you are going to bring about....
Love You!
