I was just reading through my journal from the past few months. I love reading my old words. I always find interesting things and usually encouragement. I found a poem I had written before my latest heart hurt. It was totally the Lord preparing me for what was to come. God is good…
I look upon my shattered heart
and try to piece it back.
I look for aid,
but all around the Enemy attacks.
I see my Savior coming near,
hurt I run and hide.
But sweetly whispers He,
“Dear lamb, come close here by my side.
Sweet girl, your broken heart may
burn and ache and sting,
But bring that brokenness before Me,
Your one and only King!
Lay it down and
you will see
the healing of My
Love
For
Thee.”
I know I’m no poetess, but I love that God is always preparing us. I wrote that after a great date! I don’t remember what possessed me to write it- what was going through my heart at the time- but God used it now to bless me and remind me that He always has a next step, a next plan He is readying our hearts and souls for. I don’t know what tomorrow’s plan is, but boy am I excited for it! He has brought me to physical and spiritual places I never thought I would go. He gives me supportive loving friends, He takes me on adventures all over the world, and He plants passions in my heart.
God has plans for you too…big plans. And He is preparing you right now for what is to come. The heartbreaks, the frustrations, the boredoms of today will all make sense in the light of what He is planning for your tomorrow. Trust that this is true, and live like this is true. Let the Potter mold you. It may will hurt, but the end result is beautiful beyond words- a true work of art. Let today’s sufferings be the precursors to tomorrow’s triumphs. Rejoice in your sufferings! He has ordained them and He is with you! Praise the Lord!
*Love to you all!
