If I Could Convince You of One Thing...

If I could convince you of one thing...

it would be that everything you are going through right now is worth it.
it would be that someday things will be seen with eyes that understand.
it would be that He is still there with you right now.
it would be to not be scared of trying new things.
it would be that death is NEVER the end.
it would be that there is hope.
it would be the blessedness of the trials you are facing.
it would be the detriment of lacking joy.
it would be the huge impact that you have on those around you.
it would be a sense of the beauty of nature.
it would be the absolute worthlessness of amassing stuff.
it would be the fun of camping, traveling, or living out of a suitcase with bare essentials.
it would be to never give up who you are for who they want you to be.
it would be to not be afraid of being different.
it would be that they'll come to like you if you first like yourself.
it would be the redeeming power of music.
it would be the depth of love that He has for you.

but first, I would have to thoroughly master this myself.

...or would I?
