No title comes to mind.........wait...........be someone's strong arm
Constant nothingness comes to mind when I try to focus on what to blog about. Work has been very busy. That tends to take a toll on the body and the spirit. Sometimes seeing others suffer is so hard. It really makes you thank God for what you do have. Sometimes its just a little more then I care to bear alone. The things I see.........this past weekend two dear souls did not wake up. One took her own life at the ripe age of 25, a month after her wedding. Another soul was hit riding a motorcycle by a truck. He was in his late forties. Things like that were not meant to happen. I pray for their souls. I pray for their families. That they may find comfort where none may be found, that through it all somehow, God will be glorified and magnified. What do you say to those left behind to comfort them? The truth of the matter is that there is little you can truly say. Spiritual wounds and matters of the hearts can only be healed by the one who created both the heart and the spirit. Where do we take cars when they break down? Hopefully my dad's shop or a dealership! So when we are broken and can't go on. That is when we call out to God and beg for His repairs. We don't even have to go somewhere special. He just says call out to Me. Sometimes it feels, I could go for a full body restoration!!!! Lord, just fix it all. And He will. It's just that in His time, He fixes it and helps us to learn from our breakdowns. At the time we just want us back to normal and fixed again. God wants to soop us up. Not just make us how we used to work, He wants us to turn into a powerful vessel for Him. It's so hard to remember that it's not about me getting sooped up. It never has been. I may have thought it was. It's about reaching out to others and when we start focusing on others, God fixes us and helps us continue running the race. Then why Cody, is it so hard to remember others and keep them the focus? I know the right words to say, but continually doing it is another thing, I'm working on. When we turn our attention from Me to Them, we have let go of our issues and given them to someone who can handle them much better than you or I. I've talked long enough. Pray for me and I'll pray for you. Read the verse that goes along so perfectly with the post and reflect(= be someone's stronghold.
Galatians 6:2 (Amplified Bible)
2Bear (endure, carry) one another's burdens and [a]troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ (the Messiah) and complete [b]what is lacking [in your obedience to it].
