Restless, unsettled, distracted and disturbed I find myself, yet again.
In worry, I fear, in doubt I react. I see pain, I see sadness. I want to be angry, I want to feel strong!
Why? Why have we equated emotion to weakness?
I have spent years letting my pain turn in to anger. As time steals along, anger hardens a part of my heart, a part of my soul. It progresses; it grows deeper and with every pang the lie that was planted invades and chokes up everything around it until a piece of me denies to exist or entertain certain possibilities any more.
How terrifyingly wonderful it is that Our Father refuses to leave us this injured or broken?! He promises in Ezekiel 36:25 NKJV
"26 I
will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the
heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh."
I don't believe this instantaneously happens. I believe that this is part of our journey in following Jesus, where our flesh, our pride, our hurts, our past are hung and nailed to a tree. When we decide to surrender to His will, a beautiful mess begins to get perfected.
How tender is our Father, that He provides a way to Him by Jesus.He meets us where we are and refuses to leave us the way He found us, broken. He removes our past hurt with our past record. We need only yield and allow His strength to be perfect in our weakness!
