Remember the pain, the hurt, the desperation.
Remember the hope that she clung on, when everything seemed so bleak.
Remember the tears, the days, the silence.
Remember the guilt, the temptation, what brought her here.
Remember the anger, the sadness, the frustration.
Remember the feelings of lost, hopelessness and the feeling like there's not going to be another day of ever feeling happy.
Most importantly,
Remember the grace, the forgiveness, the relief.
Remember the people who stood beside her, listening, and comforting.
Remember the worthiness, that even though she may not feel that she'll ever be worthy, to be loved.
Remember the second, third chance she was given.
Remember the desperate need for touch from him.
Remember the words, the promises, the confession.
Remember the heavy burden lifted from her shoulders.
Ultimately,
Remember that God loves her no matter what.
Remember that Jesus will always be there for her.
Remember that he didn't give up on her, on them.
Remember that even when memories come to haunt her, all she has to do is cling on to Jesus.
Remember that through him, God had shown grace, forgiveness and love.
Remember that she doesn't need attention or approval from people, and that she only needs attention and approval from the one and only Heavenly Father.
Remember that she is worthy of love, worthy of praise, worthy to be God's child.
Remember.
