Beat Me and Break Me

I wrote this several months ago and just found it again in my Bible.... I wrote this after talking to a camper and finding out how her boyfriend was treating her..plus things that I have experienced in my own life. So, it's a combination of my story and another's

We were made to love
But somehow we always end up hurting one another
Some say we're looking for love in all the wrong places
So I will not look to mere humans
To get my fill of love
Go ahead and talk behind my back
Tell me you love me when it's just us
But act like you hate me when others are around
Beat me and break me
Use and abuse me
Hurt me till there is nothing left
At least that's what you think
But there is Someone who thinks otherwise
Despite my scars, bruises, and shattered heart
There is Someone who is ready and willing to pick up the broken pieces
And make me into something beautiful

Someone who will walk beside me when I'm struggling
Instead of just turning their back on me
He is the one who offers
Freedom from captivity
Light to the darkness
Truth to replace lies
Peace instead of chaos
Comfort instead of terror
And love instead of hate

An intoxicating love that has no limitations
Greater than all the hate this world has to offer
It is an unfailing love
One that I desire and He gives freely.
