So you’ll go out in joy, you’ll be led into a whole and complete life”. Isaiah 55:12(a) MSG

Brokenness hurts. It robs, steals, and destroys all the very best things that God intended for you, from the very beginning of time. A nick here, a gash there, and we start to tuck away our hearts—it is just to painful to believe, to try, to trust, or to feel. He knows. 

His promise, however, is greater than the pain, beloved one, and if you will let Him, He will lead you into something far greater than what you are experiencing right now. He will take your hand; hold your hurting heart; and walk forward with you into a whole and complete life. The life He planned for you all along.

You are never too far away from what He has dreamt for you, because you are never too far away from Him. Pick up the broken pieces; show Him the broken places; then trust! 

Go forth in joy, precious one, and live the life He has created you to live. Sing, dance, celebrate. Instead of brokenness—healing. Instead of being tripped up—you are being led forward, wrapped in peace. Instead of being held back—you can break forth into freedom’s song!

You belong to Him in every way and His love is a banner lifted high over your life every day. You are the one who has captured His heart, and oh, cherished one, capture it you did!

Prayer:

Dearest Father, I thank You for my original design—that which was in Your heart from the beginning of time. It seems some days Lord, that I am so far from that. I see the lack and the longing; You know the purpose and the plan.

I place my hand in Yours today, with the hope of the “more” that You have promised, and wherever You are leading Lord, if You will help me, and hold me, I will go too.

In the precious Name of Jesus, the Beloved, I pray.
