Never Give Up

Sometimes, all we need is just one person who believes in us and who will never give up on us. Someone who sees beyond our weaknesses, beyond our faults. Who knows that though we walk in darkness, we can still find our way into the light. – Jocelyn Soriano

I pray that you may find someone who will never give up on you. Someone who sees you truly and who believes in the very best you could become.

Whatever happens, remember that you have God. And when you have Him, you have Someone who will never give up on you.

Never Giving Up

You are the kind
I know
who will never give up
on me.

The kind who will
believe in me
long after
I could no longer
believe in myself.

The kind who sees
my shadows
yet who never fails also
to see my light.

A light that can remain
hidden for so long
Hidden even from
my own eyes.

I can hate myself so much
that I can’t even look
at my very own
reflection.

Yet I don’t even need to see it
Because I see better
as I look
in your eyes.

I see someone
who will always
be there
through and through.

Whose silence
is far better
than any word
other people can utter.

Whose gaze alone
can give me hope
can help me hold on
for one more day.

Because you never give up
on me
You never did
and never will.

Though I let go
you will get me back
Though I forget
you will remember.

Though I stop
even to hope
You will hold on
for the both of us.

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up, saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God, and didn’t respect man. A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’ He wouldn’t for a while, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God, nor respect man, yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’” The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says. Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them? -Luke 18:1-7 (WEB)
