Repaired

When you're hurt deeply by someone you thought cared about you, it seems as if the whole world around crumbles. You feel as if you're alone, and damaged. Like it can't be fixed ever. Along with that, everything else in life seems to get worse as well. Your grades drop, you get yelled at during work, everyone seems to be after you, pouring salt on that throbbing wound in your heart. You could have gone through a break up, you could have lost a parent's trust, or just got in a huge fight with your best friend. But you have someone always who will never hurt you. Never let you down.

And that's God...

It's like you're a snare drum on a drumset, you'll be hit daily with a stick, constantly putting dents in your drum head. You want it all to stop, but it's life, you'll be hurt and played on until your drum head finally breaks. Then maybe thrown in a corner, replacing that drumset with a newer snare drum.

But God will never do that to you. Sure life is full of troubles and pains, but God wants to heal you. He can take your drum head, without throwing you in a corner and replace it with a new drum head. He can heal your wounds so your heart is ready once again for daily battles in life.

In Isaiah 43: 1-3, it says: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters ... they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God"

But you have to want to be healed by him, you just have to call His name and He will embrace you, He will heal you all in His time, you just have to have some faith! He is your true rest and true healing, only He can dry your tears and save you from hurt. So I leave you with this, love Him and love yourself, let your heart be healed, it won't happen over night, because God needs time to take your heart, slowly sew it back together and bring it back even stronger than before.

He loves you no matter what because His love is unfailing...
