Sometimes we need a hug from God.

When you’re lonely,

When you’ve made mistakes,

When you can’t seem to get a break,

When you keep falling down,

When people mock and treat you like a pitiful clown,

When you’re feeling lost in a crowd,

When someone ridicules your efforts in front of others out loud,

When you lose someone and don’t have the power to bring them back,

When people constantly make you their target of attack,

When tears stream from your face and you’re paralyzed by emotions of dismay,

When you’ve done an awful thing last night, and tomorrow won’t make it right,

When at your past most people gasped, and you’ve accomplished nothing good

and only bad,

When you’ve cheated, lied, injured, corrupted, caused dread and unrepented harm

to others and when people because of you have suffered and bled,

When the mention of your name is a disgrace,

Yes, my friend, in those situations and others are when you need mercy, grace,

forgiveness, and God’s embrace. www.authorthelmacunningham.com
