"Why do I always fail?"
You are not good enough!
"But I'm trying to be!" I continue to cry out.
Trying isn't good enough.

"Find me, in my hidden places. Come find me even where the shadows hide. Strike a match, bring a torch, illuminate the deep divide and find me!"
A voice enters my mind:
"Do you remember who you are?"
I shiver as I replay in my mind past mistakes, painful memories, and heartaches.
"No, try again. Please try and remember!" The voice says.
My head still buried in my hands, I shake my head.
"Failure." I reply.

“We are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ.” [Romans 8: 16-17]
"Marlisa, you are MY daughter!"
At that moment, a flood of warmth embraces me. I pull my head up from my hands and look up to the beautiful light.

"Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me." [Isaiah 49:16]

"You are safe, my dear sister!"
I was so overwhelmed with joy and relief! My heart felt like it was being mended and a smile reappeared on my face. We just stood there in each others arms, tears of joy streaming down our faces. I was rescued and he still continues to rescue me each time I fall.
