brave words from a broken heart wordpress

I fear no more as the Lord now fights for me. I have finally stopped fighting and running away.

This is because I have finally stopped digging in. And I see in his hand an infinite number of possibilities. Things begin to make sense, and there is clarity. The world does not wait, and the stiff trunk of my stubbornness takes time to wither. And I must wait for the complete turning of the wheel for another chance. When he will come back I cannot know, but these cycles might take five days, five months or five years to complete. Then God gives it a rest, and he leaves me alone. When he tries to pull me out of the pit, I often dig in, and my wheels spin ever faster in reverse sinking me deeper into the muck. This is the critical moment.Īlthough God is ever loving and merciful, I believe he sometimes works in cycles.

Either way, from error or circumstance, God invites us to him. When I imagine myself in their shoes I can only scratch the surface of what they must be learning first hand.Īs for me, I foolishly excavated most of the holes in my life. For many, especially those that have suffered a painful loss, this can be difficult to understand or accept. There is always a reason we are stuck in the hole. Ironically, when we see everything as black it only serves to darken things more, even though our hunger for the light is great. But what does this do? It only sinks us deeper. So we moan and groan and fall into despair. Or maybe the circumstances of our lives leave us looking up from the bottom of a well.
