Finding Love
by: Awannabe Writer

How long does it take to fall in love?
A minute, an hour, a day,
Weeks, months, years,
for that special someone to
steal your heart away?

How do you even know if its really
love or just a physical attraction?
What does real love feel like?
And should that person break your heart,
shatter your hopes and dreams,
How long does it take to get over them?

How long does it take to kill the pain?
Hours, weeks, months, years.
How long will you cry those empty tears.
When you know no one else will do,
How can you search for someone else?

How long does it take to fall in love again
A minute, an hour, a day, months or even years?
If you find another special someone,
Will it feel the same?
Can you trust another with your heart?

How do you know they too won’t
shatter your world apart.
Maybe you just harden your heart.
Don’t ever let anyone else completely in again.
How can you trust,
Why would you want to feel?
And risk putting yourself through the pain again?

Your Value in God's Eyes
(an excerpt from the book "Your Best Life Now" by: Joel Osteen)

Understand, your value in God's eyes never changes. Some people want us to think that the moment we do something wrong or get off course, God gets His big marker out, crosses our name off His list, and says, "I knew they couldn't do it. I knew they didn't have what it takes." No, God is a forgiving God. He is a God of second chances. No matter how many times you fail Him or how many mistakes you make, your value in God's eyes remains exactly the same.

Imagine that I am handing you a new, crisp one-hundred-dollar bill.

Would you want it? Probably so! Suppose I crumpled it up so it wasn't quite as good-looking as it was the day it came from the mint. Would you still want it? Sure! But wait, what if I took it out in the parking lot, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it until the picture on the bill was barely perceptible? It's now dirty, stained, and soiled. Would you still want it?

Of course. Why? Because it is still valuable despite the rough treat�ment it has experienced. A hundred dollars is a hundred dollars (for�getting about exchange rates, inflation, and other factors, for the moment). It doesn't lose its value simply because it has aged, is not as pretty as it once was, or has taken some bumps and bruises in life.

That's the way God sees each one of us. We all go through chal�lenges and struggles. Sometimes we feel like that hundred-dollar bill, all crumpled and soiled. But just as that hundred-dollar bill still has value, we do, too! In fact, we will never, ever lose our value. Our value has been placed in us by the Creator of the universe, and nobody can take it away from us.
