As I read over my last post, I am eerily reminded of the
pain of this world. Countless people deal with insurmountable hurt day in and
day out. Hurt that is not limited to the physical but presses against the very
core of one's heart and mind.
Often, a pain that others may never feel or even understand,
YET to One a pain that is greatly known. Our hurts and disappointments are not
voided, simply because our "neighbor" does not understand or realize
the struggle. These feelings are actually quite real and need to be given to
the One who can bear them. In our own strength we cannot carry the weight of
the pain that so easily grips us up. But there is One who experienced betrayal
and abuse at the hands of those who claimed allegiance and loved them still (oh
my!). This love was so GREAT that He said, "Father, forgive them, for they
don’t know what they’re doing" and He traded His life so they [WE, YOU,
ME, US] could live.
Live.
Live.
LIVE. FREE.
Live abundant.
Live in LOVE. Because HE is love.
That hurt. That pain. Give it to Him. He said, He would
carry it.
Stop killing yourself trying to carry a burden that has been
buried.
May we allow His strength to be great in the midst of being
weak.
