ONE DAY
You will be born — you will die.
You will be lost — you will be found.
You will trust — you will be betrayed.
You will feel fear — you will have courage again.
Your heart will be broken — you will find love again.
Your world will feel dark — you will find light in God.
You will have this dream — your dream will come true.
You will struggle in life — you will start to flourish in life.
You will tell your story — your story could save someone else's life.
You will be young — you will be old.
You will fall — you will rise.
You will feel forgotten — you will be remembered.
You will doubt your purpose — you will walk right into it.
You will carry others' pain — and somehow it will heal your own.
You will be abandoned — you will be chosen.
You will wander through darkness — you will be led into light.
You will be a follower — you will become a leader.
You will chase the wrong things — you will find the right ones.
You will be silent — your voice will matter.
You will feel like a vapor — you will leave a legacy.
You will be silenced — you will find your voice.
You will be broken — you will be rebuilt.
You will run from God — you will run home to Him.
You will forget who you are — you will remember whose you are.
You will hold onto shame — you will let go and be free.
You will feel unseen — you will be seen for exactly who you are.
You will give up on your dream — you will pick it back up, later than you planned, but not too late.
You will think it's over — it will only be the beginning.
And realize, life isn't about being rich, popular, well educated.
Life is about — lessons, challenges, experiences, memories. Be humble. Be authentic. Be true toward yourself and others.
And when it's all said and done, you will realize —
It was never about the years you had. It was about what you gave with them.
