Tonight I sat outside for a little while. My back porch has a really nice breeze and the clouds were beautiful passing in front of the moon. It was nice. I shared my deepest thoughts with Jesus. I whispered to God that I knew He was there, and He was good, and that I know He sees me.
I told Him how I am tired of things breaking my heart that don't break His.
He reminded me that He catches all of my tears and keeps them in a bottle.
He reminded me that when my heart aches, His aches for me.
It was sweet to remember how very much He loves me.
I am asking Him to heal me. I am asking Him to heal my broken heart. I am asking Him to be near to me. He is hearing me. And He will answer.
Tonight I thanked Him that He sees me. I thanked Him that He will come back for us. I asked Him to make my heart grieve over the things that aren't about me. I asked Him to help me with my perspective.
He is hearing us. He will answer us. He knows everything we need before the words form on our tongues.
It got me to thinking that this is really where the rubber meets the road for me. The last year has been full of hardships. More than I can put words to. But, the greatest of them all has not been resolved. By my human perspective... it is hopeless. Thanks be to God that He hasn't left it up to my human perspective! So, tonight for me, in a significant way, I had to ask myself what Truth is... and I have found that Truth is that nothing is impossible for God. Nothing. Truth is that my God will never leave me or forsake me, and I can rest in that all day long, every day. Truth is that He is coming back to get us, and what matters is how we spend our days between now and then. Truth is, this life is not about me.... but about the One that made me and created me for a purpose. He created you too, and for a distinct purpose, and for such a time as this.
I will rest tonight, full of peace and grasping tightly to the Hope that I have in Jesus. And, I will be caught up in His love and in awe of His glory as I rest in the shadow of His wings.
