You know when you’re so sad?
You can’t stop crying and then it goes into the crying on and off mode?
You know why, but you can’t seem to get it together
Does everyone go through that?
Sometimes it is one devastating event,
but most often, it’s an incident like the straw that broke the camel’s back
If everything else was okay, you might make it through,
but it’s the thing that burst the dam
Jesus is there, to comfort
Sometimes, the pain is so great, the comfort is not accepted
Have I not forgiven? Is that the problem?
Maybe it’s nothing I have done such as was the condition of Job
Some sort of purifying, where God takes His hand
and smashes all the things you think are solid
None of them are
Look to Him
Let Him in
Let Him soothe and heal that which is needful of repair
The broken heart, the wounded parts so deep
that no human can understand
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Romans 8:26-27
And, guess which scripture is next?
So, this is after we are unable to pray much,
groaning and sighing in pain and grief and fleshly discomfort…
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
A certain promise
Quite appropriate
Not an accident that it’s there in its position behind the grieving scriptures
Hope, faith, love, trust, assurance, faithfulness, mercy, healing
A time to rend and a time to mend
This too shall pass
Scriptural References:
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Ecclesiastes 3:7
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time,
and then vanisheth away.
James 4:14
