Welcome! Before officially launching a blog for months I debated the idea of having one and what name I would give it...You see I am a writer , I was a born a writer. What God speaks to my heart I write and I journal. Some things I choose to share and some I keep private. Not only is it therapeutic , but a way for me to see how far I have come and the awesome things God has done in my life. ...The first blog post name I chose , "Back At My Heart" was inspired by the lyrics of the wonderfully talented Natalie Grant. If you have never listened to her music , I suggest you do!
Wow. Can anyone else relate to this? I know I most certainly can. Psalm 147 : 3 says , "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." How many of us are broken-hearted or have been before? I would suffice to say we all have been. At one point in our lives , someone or something has broken our heart. Do you hide your fears and pains? Personally , I am strong and I hold it together for other individuals. From the outside looking in , you may never how I am feeling or what I am going through. Underneath the mask , I have my own scars, bruises, and insecurities that only God can see. If you know me really, really well... you will know when I am wearing my heart on my sleeve by the way I express myself. However , there are only a handful of people that do and I can count them with my hands. At times , I have learned to hold it together just as easily for those people. Many of us choose to mask the scars and the pain, desperate for something or someone to make us whole.
As I mentioned before there are many times I have been broken, and there is nothing wrong with that. For you see , when we are broken the Lord is there to make us whole , breathe new life into us , and bind up our wounds. I've learned no one can mend my broken heart like the love of God. Psalm 34 : 18 says , "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." The Maker of all things desires to make you and I whole. Amy Carmichael once said , "It is a safe thing to trust Him to fulfill the desires which He creates." Who better to mend our hearts then the One who created it? Are you seeking Him in your brokenness? I know I am , I am desperate... and God knows just where to start , at the back of my heart. ♥
