Last Easter season, the title of a magazine article caught my attention.
I kept the magazine and left it on my bookshelf for an entire year; and I did this without ever reading the article!
I don’t usually hold on to things, unless they have significance or purpose…
Has your heart ever been broken?
Has your spirit ever been crushed?
We’ve all been there.
We’ve all had an experience, or more than one, that caused us to feel emotional pain.
An experience that made our hearts ache. An experience that made us feel like we were kicked in the stomach and had the wind knocked out of us.
Whether we’ve experienced the loss of a loved one; end of a romantic relationship; betrayal of a significant other, friend or family member; or something similar, we can probably remember how much it hurt.
When we go through painful situations, do we try to deal with them on our own or do we turn to the Lord for help?
When we go through painful situations, do we believe God is somewhere off in the distance or right there with us?
