I don't understand why there is so much pain in this world. So much hurt.
When I hear a sad story, I take it on. I feel the burden in my heart and I carry it. Sometimes I don't even realize it's there, but then it slips in and out of my mind and I can't deny it. Why does my heart feel heavy?. Oh, because this friend feels lonely, or because there are Syrian refugees, or because it feels like the world has lost it's love. Every little thing gets trapped in my mind. Is that unhealthy? Is that the father's heart? Am I trying to take things into my own hands? Am I not trusting? Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples. ~Psalm 65:7 *hint*...it's God Did you catch that? Only God can calm the seas. Only God can somehow make something that seems so wrong into something beautiful. God is in control. It's hard. My heart still hurts. But I have to trust. It's not my job to take on the burdens of the world. Who do I think I am? I'm a little wildflower, here today & gone tomorrow. My only job is to trust. Keep my eyes on God. God, I want to help. I want to help the hurting people in this world. Please show me how. Please let my life be centered around serving You & serving others.
