"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:11
"God comes to our lonely, anxious hearts and whispers our name. God says "I see both the fear you have of closeness and the deep longing you have to belong. I have come to comfort you and to respond to your need. I have been seeking a relationship with you. You belong. You belong to me. You are my child."

WILLING TO BREAK


Crying "freely and openly" over my past has always been difficult for me. Today marked the beginning of tears. The more I am willing to break, the more the pain will flow out in tears. And the deep healing begins.

  4. Bless her, Lord, with your healing touch..your cleansing...your creative release ...through her tears and her broken-ness. You make all things new and beautiful...in your time.

    God bless you JBR
    May you feel his healing hand upon your shoulder. May His strength be your strong tower. Praying for you in your open-ness and broken-ness. Healing is possible, it truly is :) May it come to you like a feather...light and free. May you experience His restorative harmony ...as you offer your painfully stretched heart strings to His care. I'm certain that He is singing over you...rejoicing in your beginning tears. He longs to see you free!

    Hugs, dear friend

  14. Oh girl. Praise God! Psalm 56:8, "You number and record my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle--are they not in Your book?" Those tears are captured by the Lord.

    And we all know what happens when we sow in tears ... we will REAP JOY!

    Psalm 126:5, "They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing."

    Freedom and healing is coming JBR.

    Bless you!
    Beth
