Treasure

2010

Guy to Girl: Why can't you see the love around you?

Girl: I'm not capable of being loved.

Guy: You are worthy of all the love in the world. You are a wonderful human being, who was put on this earth in the image of a great and mighty savior. To doubt your beauty is to doubt God's capabilities.

Girl: Why must you fill me with this sickening guilt?

Guy: Nobody's perfect, but His love is as pure as it gets. Seek him, and you shall seek no more. Give Him your burdens and you shall worry no more.

Girl: I'm scared. I can't think about this right now. My worries are my concern, not yours or this God's.

December, 2011

Guy: Are you still handling your worries?

Girl: I'm perfectly fine, thank you.

Guy: Not according to your obvious lack of confidence and self control.

Girl: How I live my life is none of your business.

May, 2012

Guy: I notice how she hides from herself. The paleness of her healing skin, which was at one time spilling the blood so vital to her life. She isn't happy. She needs your love, God; you're all she has left to save her.

Girl: I know he still watches me, as creepy as that sounds. But his eyes follow my every move. Unlike the ones that create both physical and mythical nightmares, his are of concern. But why? I'm not special. No one needs to pay me any attention; I know I'm worthless. Can't he see I'm not worth his time?

July, 2012

Guy: Even in 80* weather, she is reluctant to shed her extraneous amount of clothing. She still won't talk to me.

Girl: I avoided him at all costs yesterday. It'd been two months since I last saw him, and I was not prepared for that kind of confrontation.

Christmas, 2012

Girl: Pain. It seems like that word defines my being. It's the only thing I know to be true in the hell my life presents me with. If that guy is right, and there is some God who put me here, why do I have to go through so much pain and suffering? Instead of celebrating the holidays with my family, I'm forced to give myself away, again, for the sake of his reputation.

Guy: While I know I'm loved this Christmas, I can't but feel strangely unhappy knowing she is suffering. From what, I'm not sure. But, nevertheless, the hurting and sorrow is always swimming in the midst of her constantly verging tears. She needs a savior. I just hope she realizes this before it's too late.

2020

Girl: My life has just started, yet I have no clue as to what I'm doing. Being free from my prison, I'm free to do what I want. But what does that really mean? I tried out the church thing the other day. I still don't know what the big deal is. For some strange reason, though, I'm compelled to try again today; but I think I'll switch it up this time.

Guy: I knew upon entering the church, that today was going to be miraculous. I could just feel God nudging me, saying: this is your moment. And when she entered the sanctuary with a timid face, I knew God was gaining a new child.
