An Incomprehensible Love

     How broken do we have to be to feel like we're completely lost? Lost to the point where we feels like we have no fight left in us, like we've nothing left to hope for? And when we're there... Where do we turn?


     We have all been in places where it seems as though we're going nowhere, and getting nowhere fast. And we all respond to this in different ways, some healthy, but SO many times unhealthy. We look at our circumstances, our failures, our heartbreak, and our disappointments and that's how we characterize our lives; based on those things. They continue to bog us down, basically tearing us up inside, we get extremely depressed, and we shut down. We get to the point where we don't want to hear advice, we don't want to speak about what's going on, we just want to be alone. Alone, to let these things continue to deteriorate who we are. It's ugly, and painful and yet even in those times we don't reach out to anything healthy to help us.

     So many times in our lives, when things seem to fall apart, that's where we go. And clearly, it's so stinking unhealthy, and in all honesty.... What good does it really do us? Why do we so often run in the opposite direction of what we KNOW is good for us?


     Even for me, at one point during my senior year, I was in that dark place. And for awhile, I didn't want to get out of it. I was 'content' in isolation, 'okay' with the circumstances, 'fine' with how I was feeling, and 'done' with the optimism. It literally wasn't until God stepped in that allll of that, changed. All it really took was two minutes for Him to intervene for Him to show me that this wasn't what He wanted for me, and truly not what I wanted for me. Because of that I've never been the same. Why? Because God is way bigger than anything life will throw at us. He's way bigger than our circumstances. Way bigger than our pain. And most definitely way bigger than us. He can and will take every single thing that has hurt us, every stupid thing that we have done, every moment of doubt; and if we let Him, He'll turn it into something incredible that glorifies Him and turns our lives around.


     Now, if that isn't powerful... the fact that the God of the whole universe loves us enough to step in and radically change our lives... then I seriously think we need a reality check.
