To the feelers. To the women and men who experience every moment, emotion, thought and feeling in life so very deeply. To the ones who live with compassion radiating through their body like meteors flying throughout the solar system. To the ones who ache from the depths of their souls like thunder rolls through the skies. To the ones who feel the intensity of tragedy and carry the earths burdens upon their shoulders. To the ones who feel overwhelmed and overtaken by the uncontrollable and uncontainable uncertainties in life. To the ones that see a life and long to save it, and see a need and want to meet it. To the ones who cannot contain nor withhold their tears, those who weep with those who weep, mourn with those who mourn and yearn with those who yearn. To the ones who hold nothing back, who reflect a level of understanding like no other ––who desire to protect, shelter and shield the broken, the worn out and the weary, and keep every soul from harm. To the ones with hands that are bruised from giving, yet remain determined to bandage and heal. To the ones with arms that are tired from fighting for justice, but refuse to throw in the towel. To the ones who lie awake at night, who desire peaceful rest but find their minds distracted by the state of their world. To the ones who are filled with second chances, the emotional warriors, the sitters, the waiters and the delvers. To the ones who seek to listen for what goes unsaid, see more than what is visible and take the position of servant over master. You are rare, you are a unique and beautiful force to be reckoned with. You are the friend that is often walked all over, yet remains — because God has graced you with the strength to withstand the heaviness you feel upon your heart. So go, cross every river and ocean and flooding stream –– even when others will only cross puddles; go the distance. Soak at the feet of Jesus and fill your cup to overflowing; fuel your flame in the courts of His praise in His glorious presence, and let The Holy Spirit be your eyes. Be wise with your gift, but push on. Remember, you are gifted and anointed to not only feel; but also to allow Christ to carry you as you carry others.
