LIAM SHY

I survived

Because the fire inside me

Burned brighter

COME, Holy Ghost Creator blessed

And in our souls take up Thy Rest,

Come with Thy Grace and Heavenly Aid,

And fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

To Thee, The Comforter, we cry,

To Thee, The Gift of God Most High,

The Fount of Life, The Fire of Love,

The soul’s anointing from above.

The Sevenfold Gifts of Grace are Thine,

O Finger of The Hand Divine;

True Promise of The Father Thou.

Who dost the tongue with speech endow.

Thy light to every thought impart,

And shed Thy Love in every heart

Our body’s poor infirmity,

With strength perpetual fortify.

Our mortal foe afar repel,

Grant us henceforth in peace to dwell;

If Thou be our preventing guide,

No evil can our steps betide.

Make Though to us The Father known;

Teach us The Eternal Son to own,

And Thee, Whose Name we ever bless,

Of Both the Spirit to confess.

All Glory while the ages run

Be to The Father and The Son,

Who rose from death; the same to Thee,

O Holy Ghost, eternally.

I wish I could go back and tell you 10 million times.

I wish I could rewrite every mistake and fill it with home cooked dinners, candles and chocolate.

I wish I could take back every harsh word, spoke in err, when I got upset or frustrated.

If I could.... I would.

I’m not perfect... but I will continue to strive to be.

I never had Him as a guide before. I wish I had.

I wonder if things would have been different...

Courage is going from failure to failure, without losing enthusiasm.

Have you ever lost someone that you deeply loved?

Yea... me too.

Does it get easier? Not really. If anything it hurts more each time.

But by allowing God into our hearts, we can lean into Him for healing. 

I know it’s hard, and you probably feel very alone. But he is there, if you let Him.
