Isaiah 53:3-4. He was deposited and rejected , a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief....Yet it was our weaknesses He carried; and it was our sorrows that weighed Him down.
Sometimes life packs a punch. Then another and then maybe another. Life's been like that for many for many of us....health issues, finances, depression, loss of life, struggles that reverberate like unsettled rings of stone dropped into the water. As faith people. We encourage each other to take our heartaches to Jesus, to lay them at His feet, to surrender and let go, and to leave it at the cross. It can almost sound cliched to a broken heart. Letting go sounds good and light and freeing and godly and. Way we're supposed to do things as followers of Jesus. But if we're not carful, we can turn letting go into one more legalistic have to. Or we can mistake letting go for suffering our emotions that need to be acknowledged and given room to ebb and flow and run their curse. So when faced with a loss, guilt can set in if we feel that we're not getting over it quickly enough. Buy be reminded of one hiccup, a question, really, in the concept of letting to. When tears keep coming in waves, one word troubles me: HOW?
Appearing to move n from pain or disappointment in record time doesn't equal with heroism. We're not better people by refusing to be honest with ourselves regarding what truly hurts. Jesus is not hurried, EVER! He is patent. He's caring. He offers new grace and mercy DAILY! He gets that sometimes we hurt for a long time. And through that time He wants us to HANG ON TO Him and LEAN INTO Him for healing. He is WITH us for the long haul.... Simoly THANK Jesus for KNOWING your heart. Father God, guide me today to do all things that will bring glory and honor to Yôu Amen
For it is WITH God ALL things ARE possible. Have a VERY BLESSED RELY ON Jesus Friday ALL! God LOVES you!! And so do I!!
