Lift Your Head Up, Sweet Girl

A poem for the broken-hearted.

Lift Your Head Up, Sweet Girl
Nick Feck

Lift your head up, sweet girl
I've been there before
I know the pain that lies within you.
Your heart feels shattered
Your dreams have been scattered
By the one who meant the most

The first days are long
The pain is strong
But you'll find that you are stronger
The one who lives within you
Who breathed life into you
Will reveal Himself as so much more

Healing takes time
You have plenty
So don't push for a quick repair
Instead press into your creator
Feed on His comfort
Seek Him relentlessly in prayer

Lift your head up, sweet girl
I've been there before
Don't you dare question your value
The eyes of a man
Do not dictate your worth
For you are priceless, this is true

You will love again
Your Maker has a plan
But don't let that become the main focus
There is much to discover
So much to uncover
In God's promises meant for you in this season

Enjoy your free time
Don't wait for a guy
To begin living out the dreams you carry
Don't hold them tight
But let them shine bright
Go after them on your own

When you stop and think
You're not alone at all
You are under your Maker's wings
He is whispering sweetly
"Do not fear"
"With Me, you can do all things"

So lift your head up, sweet girl
I've been there before
But my days of heartbreak are no more
I found comfort and meaning
In the One who gives healing
That erased every trace of rejection I held within

Keep your head high, my dear
In love, there is no fear
Seek the love that never changes His mind
Heartbreak isn't fun
But your journey is far from done
You are not damaged, you are strong

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.
