Sometimes I just need to fall apart. It is how I comprehend my weakness so I can rest in the arms of my God of power and strength. It is so relaxing to imagine just being in His arms. I am safe.
The difference between an ice cube and myself is when I return to my state of purpose and "un-meltedness," I am stronger. I learned something.
We all need to face trials and tribulations in our life. It comes with the package/territory/contract of having this life. God never said it was going to be easy. He never said it was going to be painless. If anything, being a Christian makes living in this world that much harder. He never gives us anything we can't handle. And He never gives us anything expecting us to do it on our own. He is with us.
He is so wonderful, isn't He?!
This week has been hard and I felt that God has been quiet. I still feel His power and I still feel at peace when I pray and trust in Him. However, I just haven't heard Him speaking to me. It just sucks sometimes because I so desperately need Him on weeks like these. He is here, He never left, just a quiet 'lil bugger.
Makes me think of a quote I once read:
"When you are going through something hard and wonder where God is, remember the teacher is always quiet during a test."
So ya, I have a meltdown every now and again. I just must always remember that I can always rest in the power and strength in my God. I am strong, only because I am no longer me. He lives in me now.
Boom. :P
