Future Me

Hey there future me.
This is you from the past you see?
I just thought I would write a few lines
to remind you of who you were in this time.
A sinner you are, but one saved by someone's blood.
Is there really any greater love?
No greater love has a man
than to lay down his life for a friend.
A little confused? Ahh I see.
You had forgotten what it feels like to be
a blind man saved that can now see.
Christ was the one who did it.
Yeah, you were saved by the man named Jesus!
I believe He is watching us now.
Probably both at the same time somehow.
Anyhow, back to the point my friend.
If you're reading this, and feeling down
don't give up...it isn't the end.
No matter what God always sees
whats in your heart every time it beats.
If you've gotten lost then please allow me to lead
I'm pointing you to the cross on the hill called cavalry.
It was there for you that a man died,
so that you might have faith enough not to give up on life.
Now as Im writing this tears are flowing down
the rain reminded me that God will never let me drown.
In ending it's for you that I pray
that if you feel like giving up on this day
look back at me and see
that God will save you, future me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this because I wanted something to look back on when those times come, and they will, when my heart is breaking. It isn't right now, but I wanted to remind myself that no matter what i have done it isnt worth giving up my life for. With Christ, who bought me forgiveness i will someday live for eternity in heaven.
