Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Friends that show you Jesus are Real

One day

You will meet people

Who will love you without question

Strangers who become family

In an instant

You won’t have to

Hold your breath

Or give up your rights

No forcing things

Or earning a place

They will just fit

They’ll give just to give

They’ll tell you they care

They’ll accept you

In whatever state you are in

And the depth of their love

Will be so very clear

This will be

True fellowship for you

Not found in a building

Or in a small group

But in the faces of others

Who look at you with eyes

That shine your worth

That speak to you

That you are valuable

And precious

Just for being you

Eyes that tell you God is real

And He loves you beyond compare

And those friends

Just want to show you that truth
