Carry Me

On my knees, searching within
I've come to the end of me and I'm ready to begin
To find my purpose, to find my way
Now I'm reaching for You

And I am desperate
And I can't do this on my own

Would You carry me?
My arms are wide open, I'm giving everything
Would You carry me?
Oh Lord, I surrender, I'm letting go today

I'm forgiven 'cause You paid the price
I still can't seem to leave it all behind
All my failures, all of my mistakes
Still I'm reaching for You

And all of these years, so lost and broken
And all of these tears, I've walked alone
Now reaching for You

Would You carry me?
My arms are wide open, I'm giving everything
Would You carry me?
Oh Lord, I surrender, I'm letting go today

--"Carry Me" by Sevent Day Slumber

Don't give up because of your experiences or because your view of yourself has been blocked. There is one lens with the proper vision correction that can allow us to see ourselves in this life. And through that clarity we are offered a view of beauty so perfect, a view of life so divine, that it is hard to recognize it as our own. Our Christ offers that to us, and for a lot of us, it takes a trip to hell and back to awaken our spirits to that which He has given us. We can never forget we are HIS creation, and therefore are beautiful to Him.

Surrendering our self to His will is the best thing we can ever do in this life. The song "carry me" by Seventh Day Slumber says: "I'm forgiven because you paid that price, I still can't seem to leave it all behind, all my failures, all of my mistakes" and then answers: "Would You carry me? My arms are wide open, I'm giving everything. Would You carry me? Oh Lord, I surrender, I'm letting go today."

That act is different for everyone, the act of surrender. I strongly encourage you to find out what that means for you. That you take the time to talk with Jesus, and then to LISTEN to Jesus. As much as He enjoys hearing us talk to Him, he also enjoys talking to us, and all to often we forget to listen.

Listen for His voice.
