You're Alone & You're Scared

Beauty and the Beast lyrics part III:

You're alone and you're scared

But the banquet's all prepared

No one's gloomy or complaining

While the flatware's entertaining

Am I a safe place for the lonely and the scared? Can people trust my confidentiality? Rely on my unconditional love and lack of judgement? Depend on my consistency and approachability?

"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18

If this is the attitude of my God, it's how I want to live as well.

I want my life to be a place where broken people (from which I do not exclude myself) can find healing and hope through the life of Jesus in me. I want to be a light in the midst of doom and gloom, light that brings clarity and joy through the wisdom and Spirit of God in me. I want to be a safe haven from the terrors and depression of the world through the peace of Jesus. I want to speak the truth with wisdom and love and grace and zero judgement.

I want to have His heart.
