Show me
The difficulties of life stink. When those we hoped were trustworthy take away our trust and losses leak holes in our hearts, if we aren’t careful, if we don’t take our burdens to Jesus, those hard things can leave hard places in our souls.
I know pain, I understand many of life’s hard things, I’ve been molested by a baby-sitter, assaulted by two guys, raped, and stalked. I’ve been divorced, dealt with over eleven years of chronic illness, and eight surgeries, and many, many other nasty and tough things. God has healed, restored, redeemed, and helped me through, and over, each difficulty. Our God is a good God, He takes what the enemy meant for evil and turns it into good for those who love Him.*
No matter what we go through, God helps us through. Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted and “announce release (pardon, forgiveness) to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed (downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy).”*
However, when in the midst of trauma and heartache, when we have gone through things the world says we will never get over, remember God’s word is truth. Jesus shows us how to heal, how to get through, how to get up one more day and take one more breath. Jesus sets captives free – completely and totally free. God’s truth removes the blinders from our eyes, the hardness from our hearts, and sets us free in the light of His love.
Now when life hits hard and it’s difficult to stand, pray and ask God … from this situation, from every situation, Heavenly Father…
