Calvin walked into church. His mother was on his right, and his younger brother on his left. Calvin didn't believe in any God. He never went to church before. But, today his mother forced him to go to church. She felt as if Calvin needed another look on life. Calvin was thinking all of this was complete bullshit.

Calvin sits in the front seat. His mother and brother sit in the front as well. Service was about to start. Woo! Calvin wasn't ready though. It probably was going to be a 3-4 hour long service.

Calvin checked his surroundings. He was very careful where he sat at. The preacher was getting his mic fixed. Calvin was just being a polite gentleman and sat there.

"I'm going to sing something powerful." The preacher says as he finally gets his mic fixed 

"Yeah!" A random person blurted out 

Music started playing out of nowhere. Which scared the hell outta Calvin. The preacher makes eye contact with Calvin. Calvin shows his beautiful smile.

  I see you smiling
Life is tearing you apart
Looking good on the outside
I can feel your heart
You feel helpless and hopeless
Isolated and confused
You feel like that there lays no purpose
So let this word encourage you   

The preacher sang, still making eye contact with Calvin.

  You shall live, and not die
Though you've been hurting
For sometime
By faith
You shall live
And not die
Though you have been hurting
For sometime
By faith
You shall live  

  I see you standing there
With a towel in your hands
Getting ready to go in
Like no one really understands
They don't, don't understand
Here is what you must remember
That you are in this for a reason
Don't give up just keep the faith
Soon you will be walking in your season   

The preacher walks toward Calvin as he sung his song. The preacher puts his hand on Calvin's jaw, lifting his head up.

  You shall live, and not die
Though you've been hurting
For sometime
By faith
You shall live
And not die
Though you have been hurting
For sometime
By faith

  Listen, listen, listen
I know you feel like giving up right now
'Cause you don't know which way to go
But I stopped by here to tell you
Just for a little while
You could always go to the Lord  

Calvin gotten tear-eyed as the lyrics spoke to him personally. Calvin was known for having no emotions at all. But, it was pretty different this time. A tear falls down Calvin's cheek.

  Just remember, just remember

He will never put more on you than you than you can bear
It may be hard right now
Just know that he cares
You shall...
Live, live, live   

Calvin nodded his head as the preacher sung his song.

  By faith you shall...
Live, live, live
[repeat]
By faith you shall... 

  You shall live and not die
Though you've been hurting
For sometime
By faith
You shall live and not die  

When the preacher finishes the song, Calvin walks out the church.

"Calvin!" His mother calls out his name 

*Itty Bitty Time Skip*

Calvin was outside. Wanting to be alone. Tears were streaming down his cheeks as he was thinking of the heartache and shame he been through. Calvin felt like giving up on everything. It was too much for him. He was too weak to fight his own battle. He was feeling broken physically. Nothing was worth anything anymore. No one understand what Calvin went through. If they did, they would probably understand why he's acting the way he acts.

What ever happened to being the happy 5 yr old?  Now, things were totally different. Calvin felt like he wasn't breathing. Everyone around him was breathing normally. It felt like he was drowning in water. Calvin didn't know how to solve his own problem. All he knew was that he wanted to end that problem...
