You Can Come Home Now

Coming home to yourself

59
You Can Come Home Now
Laura Peck

Each morning is a new opportunity,

You can come home now.

Each step away is never too far,

You can come home now.

No matter what you have done or have neglected to do,

You can come home now,

You are welcome here.

"Welcome home," the Voice of Love says.

Come home to where you are safe and sound, where nothing can trap you or bring forth mountains of fear.

You can come home now, you are safe here.

And if you've been away, gone off like the Prodigal Son, you can still come home,

Now is better than ever.

You can come home now,

There are open arms waiting for you.

Arms out wide, we welcome you back in.

Welcome back to you,

The you that was made by the Creator of all things,

The you that has a purpose far beyond anything you could ever dream up, the you that houses the Living, the Divine.

Because guess what?

You were made good,

And you have always been good.

Come back home, let yourself be embraced and loved,

There is nothing too dirty, there is nothing too raw, there is nothing too much or too little,

Just as you are,

You are welcomed home.

You can come home to yourself now, to the you that you were created to be.

Rest in the arms of love,

These arms never fail, they are always holding you.

You can come home to yourself now, you can come home to love.

Thanks be to God.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
