You know there are those in my life who are determined to dwell in the fear, the pain, the shame, the sorrow and the suffering. I get it, we all know from my written ramblings, I too go down that winding road of ache.
Examining our tribulations, regardless the source can be healing. I have experienced, deep within the inner dwelling’s core, the cathartic juices secreted from exploring thoughts and emotions. Today, though, as a sister reached out in her reoccuring pain, I needed to remind her and myself that there is an element of foolishness found in only nurturing the pain.
Let me explain..
Today, as I walked out of the store, a brisk breeze captured my senses. I was so taken with nature's moment that I felt my joy dance in harmony with the air as it blew past me. I thought about how sad it would be if I didn't stop and take the spontaneous gift in and appreciate it for all that it was.
You ever see a kid in a toy store, sitting in a cart filled with toys, being pushed by a loving parent? Have you seen that same kid, crying because the child is caught up in the frustration or the whatever of the moment that was wrong? You see our God is the loving Father pushing our carts, filled with His gifts; still sometimes, we allow the burdens to be larger than Him and all that He has given.
So sure pain is ok to explore, but then give it all to Him forever more. He deserves our love and He deserves our smiles, those that go way down deep into those inner cores.
I hope if you read this, I hope you know my heart is wrapped around yours because of the softened heart He gave to me, not because of me...
