Night after night, this girl soaked her pillow with tears. She wanted someone, anyone to say that she was enough to live for. During her last weeks of freshmen year, this girl got a book full of love letters. She read through all of them. This time she cried in thankfulness to the man who wrote them.
God's Not Dead!It spurred on a Crusade within this girl to get to know this man better. But again, her brittle heart was crushed. This time it was her dad who said her childhood was a lie, that there was no God, no everlasting peace, and no-one who would love her for all that she was. She didn’t react.
Who Is This Mystery Man? (Could it be the I AM?)Instead she waited for him to leave before she isolated herself on the back porch. There she sobbed holding onto her Bible as a life saver. The guy who had landed the book of love letters in her hands showed up. He was the only one to say it was okay to cry. He would love her enough for her whole family.
Getting Better...Together was when this girl really felt like she was loved. She became accustomed to the fights her family members had. Sometimes it even seemed as if things were getting better. But her parents were still harshly blaming and complaining about their money problems to really care about what their daughter was now doing.
Built-Up SecretsA year after meeting the man this girl fell in love with him as her circumstances became worse. She loved her family too much to ever speak out in a fight or inquire advice from an outsider. There were plenty of times and plenty of people she could have told. Her best friend, her favorite English teacher, or even her brother. But this girl viewed her mother as one from a high society who’s too sophisticated to admit that she was living “below” her means. She saw her father as this constant working machine simply wanted to eat, sleep, and work. Neither of them wanted anyone else to know their financial situation.
Pushing God AwayThe pressure was building on this girl to be stylish, top in her grade, and not to ever put her faith in anyone but herself. Her parents denied her contact with the man she loved in their presence which was becoming more recurrent. They didn’t want anything to do with this guy.
Careful What You Wish For......And it broke this girl’s heart. All she could hear was how her parents’ investment wasn’t coming in, how poor they were, and how God screwed them over. This girl became so desperate in wanting their complaints to stop, in wanting them to just say that she was enough reason to do what they’re doing. She asked her father what he would give for their money to come in. His answer was, “Anything, I’d give anything to get out of this hell.”
Sacrifice For Their HappinessThe next day their money came in, but their daughter left. A car came around the corner too fast and hit the girl as she was running in the morning. Her parents didn’t find out until after the hospital identified her and called, they were too busy celebrating the “good” news.
Wish GrantedHer family found out, after accidentally spying a passage in a journal, that the night before she wrote a love letter to the man she loved that predicted this event. Written down in a simple sentence was, “Dear Jesus, Please give my family what they seek, they said they’d give anything to have it, I don’t need the money to be content, just the love You’ve given me, but I can’t deal with their fights, their arguments anymore, at the very least please give me a sense of eternal peace.”
Priceless LoveNow this family doesn’t find any gratification in the investment they had for five years begged, cursed, and declared they rightfully deserved. The girl who loved them too much had paid the price for their happiness. Christ was all she had, but she loved everyone despite what they did to her. It was too much love for the wrong thing that cost this girl’s family their only daughter who could never have been bought.
