Blessed Am I; Who Trusts In Jesus

I am human but faithful.

I wonder how I can help people.

I hear when people conceal their feelings. 

I see light where most see darkness.

I want to spread the love I know in God.  

I am human but faithful. 

 


I pretend that everyone wants help. 

I feel the pain of others.

I touch Jesus’ scars when I feel too broken.

I worry that I’m not doing enough.

I cry when I know I’ve fallen short.

I am human but faithful. 

 


I understand love is a lifelong choice.

I say everyone deserves to receive it.

I dream I can help people with psychiatry.

I try my best to forgive others and myself.

I hope God is proud of me.

I am human but faithful. 


The author's comments:

My name is Ariana Branch— a high school student who has recently given their life to God. I wish more teens had the courage to share not only their testimony; but the realities of being young, human, and faithful. I hope this encourages those who are scared or provides understanding to other teens, who have no idea what Christianity looks like and how it relates to our existence: full of hardship, love, and relationships.
