You've found hope
You've found faith,
Found how fast she could take it away.
Found true love,
Lost your heart.
Now you don't know who you are.
She made it easy,
Made it free,
Made you hurt til you couldn't see.
Sometimes it stops,
Sometimes it flows,
But baby, that is how love goes.
Monica found herself dreaming about her last assignment. It may surprise both angels and humans alike that angels dream, occasionally falling. She'd been assigned to help a mother and daughter mend their bound. It seemed like an easy enough assignment. She'd done that a few times before. However, this time it would be different.
You will fly, and you will crawl;
God knows even angels fall.
No such thing as you lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.
It's a secret no one tells;
One day it's heaven. One day it's hell.
It's no fairy tale;
Take it from me,
That's the way it's supposed to be.
She'd done her best to integrate herself into her cases lives. Claiming she had been called in as a mediator for intervention on their behalf. Which honestly wasn't a lie. However, she quickly realized that mother and daughter were at each other throats. And for a good reason.
The mother wouldn't listen to her daughter whenever she brought up the abusive and unfair treatment she'd received from her and the entire family. Her mother, on the other hand? Flat out denied she'd ever disrespected or abused her daughter that it was all in her head and to stop telling lies.
You will fly, and you will crawl;
God knows even angels fall.
No such thing as you lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.
You laugh, you cry, no one knows why
But oh, the thrill of it all...
You're on the ride
You might as well
Open your eyes
Monica did her best to help them. However, even an angel can't help someone unwilling to listen or change. When did she see the abuse firsthand? The mother refused to acknowledge her abusive ways. So the daughter's issues were never resolved because the other party wouldn't own up to their mistakes.
Reluctantly Monica went to Tess and tried to explain she couldn't help these people. However, Tess didn't listen until she almost got hurt herself. They were screamed at as well. In the end? Neither mother nor daughter would accept God's help. Sadly it was a fact that sometimes even an angel fails.
You will fly, and you will crawl;
God knows even angels fall.
No such thing as you lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.
Even angels fall
Even angels fall
When I feel like a failure
"I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made" Psalm 139:14
"Father,
You are my Maker, and You make no mistakes. But, there are days when I can't measure up to expectations: my own or anyone else's.
I feel like a failure in the sight of the world. But You tell me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Created for good works in this place and this time. The Scriptures are full of stories of 'failures" that You transformed into men and women of faith and success.
I choose to believe that my failures are stepping stones to success in Your Kingdom.
Amen.
