“You are not your own…” 1 Corinthians 6:19
Good morning sweetie. I pray that you have a magnificent day today. Unbuttoning the pants. Most of us, after we finish eating our Thanksgiving meal, have to take a seat on the couch, unbutton our pants, and take quite a few deep breaths to try to let all of the food that we just consumed settle into our digestive systems. Sometimes life’s hurt can also become so gigantic and unsettling that our hearts come undone and our good thoughts turn negative and our hopes and joys for the future and even tomorrow are ripped away from us. God is still with us and it is then that we need to be willing to open our hearts to let Him work. Yesterday for me was just like that. The good person that I thought I had always been was ripped right from my heart and my hopes and joys for even the moment, no longer existed. As we made the long drive home to Virginia I cried and cried as I felt the heaviness in my heart, but I had learned over my years not to ask God, “why?”, but instead to learn to say, “ok God, what would you like to do with this.” I sobbed and sobbed some more and I tried to listen and as I chose to take a seat, unbutton my heart and take some deep breaths God began speaking by showing me a billboard along the side of the highway with a large photo of Jesus hanging on the cross and it read, “This is how much your life matters.” From there I kept listening and I kept my shattered heart open to my Father’s words.
Have a beautiful day today.
Love Ma 🙂
