So This is old and you may have already read/heard it but I really like it and realized I hadn't posted it yet, so here it is:
The coolness of the mountain air surrounded her. She breathed in its freshness. Its promise. The essence of new life. Tall peaks stood all around her and the bright sun reflected off the crystal snow. The perfect place to escape. To refresh. To renew. Warmth flooded her veins as she felt the sweet embrace of her Savior. Place your problems and cares upon me. Let me solve them. So she let go of her most pressing concerns, but a layer of ice still remained. Let me go deeper into your past. I want to heal your wounds. But she didn’t want to revisit those places. Too much pain and hurt. I can help you. She wished she could help herself. She didn’t want to trust anyone with her heart. Would it really improve anything? What if she ended up more broken than she was now? The ice around her heart protected her from the world. She didn’t want to break it. When you are ready, come to me. She stood on the mountaintop and gazed around her. Maybe she could try. So she poured out all her past wounds. She placed her burdens on His shoulders. But the past wasn’t so painful with Jesus by her side. As she relived her parents’ abuse and her friends’ cutting words, she heard His gentle whisper. You are precious and valued and you are beautiful. She felt the ice inside of her begin to melt. She ventured further and it cracked and splintered into thousands of pieces. Finally, her heart was free. As she drove away from the snow-covered peaks, she heard one more whisper: I love you, my darling.
