Micah 7:8

I laugh so I don't have to cry.

I smile so I don't have to moan.

I sing so I don't have to wail.

I dance so I don't have to crawl.

I live so I don't have to die.

I am joyful even if not happy.
I am alive even if surrounded by death.
I have hope even when broken.
I've found love even in desolation.

I am not strong, but I am sustained.

I am not good, but I am filled.

I am not able, but I am walking.

I will fall, but I will rise.

I will walk in darkness, but the Lord will be a light unto me.
