Is your heart-broken by the people around you?

 

I would like to share with you what God has done for me through the worst years of my life. He has upheld me and let me know that there is nothing that can separate us from His love. I mean, nothing, not death, nor disappointment, nor betrayal, nor pain, or divorce, nor drugs, nor alcohol, nor lying, nor stealing of your love or someone elses - nothing.

Walk straight into moments that have always scared you. Follow through and achieve what your heart is yearning to do.

If you want to put the magic and meaning back into your relationships, you could get a copy of a free ebook that explains how to change your destiny.

If you truly want to heal, you must heal in your mind, your heart, your soul, your spirit (your personality), and your body. I have made a page for each to help you and to encourage you to heal as a total person.

Right now, you may feel as if you are just barely surviving. I understand. I have been there. I have been in the pit of darkness in my soul and my mind and my spirit. Do not despair. Do not die of a broken heart. It is possible. Don't be one of those. You are stronger than you think you are are.

Absolutely nothing. When you come to the realization that when all else fails around you, God is there, you will find some peace. When you come to the certainty that no one gets off this planet alive, you begin to realize that- hey! maybe it is time I check out about the after this life stuff called - eternity. Are you ready for that?

Is your heart broken? As my gift to you, I want to give to you this story that I wrote when my heart was too heavy to do anything, but just listen to those around me "live" since I was only merely existing at the time, trying to put one foot in front of the other, just to get up and brush my teeth was effort.
Have you ever been that broken hearted?

Have you ever been that low? If you have, you need inspiration, and I found the best inspiration in the world came from Proverbs in the Bible. So---I began writing and Proverbs - God's own words became real to me again.

Here is a sample of a story I wrote traveling to San Antonio, Texas one summer evening. I was late and I was tired and didn't feel much like talking, but God has other plans, an encounter of a "broken-hearted" kind....

As I sat down on the plane, I wondered who would take the aisle seat next to me. It didn't take long. She was a stout woman, friendly, with reading glasses perched on her nose.

Nothing but quiet between us for the first hour of the flight, I finally broke the awkward silence with the question, "is that a crossword puzzle you are doing?" "No," she replied, grateful to break the bond of strangeness to stranger, " it is a "fill-in puzzle" which was easy, but worked her seventy-two year old mind. As I listened, surprisingly she opened up her heart, her life, her mind replaying the recordings of her past two weeks with grandchildren. How dear she was, this woman I thought, as she reminisced. How loved she was by her children, her grandchildren. Every page or two of her dialogue, I nodded and smiled, thinking how full she was, bursting, to share her details, eventually, her conversation turned from happiness to grief. My ears perked up, my heart listened instead of my head. What was that she said? He was sick, she said, for so long. Twenty long years of a disease that robbed her of the man she knew, the father her children knew and loved, the "Papa" beloved by his sweet grandchildren. Sadder to me than the loss she spoke of, were her last words as we were about to land on the tarmac. As she shook her head, she said these startling words, "I've lost my ---- she spoke softly, now. I could not quite decipher her words and I did not want to miss them. I leaned in closer, "I've lost my .....
I've lost my smile." Have you lost your smile?

No matter what has happened to you, YOU determine your attitude towards it.

God is near when you cry out "help me."

I Know There's A Heaven When:

I see the secret smile that still passes between my mother and father, married longer than I've been alive.

I see the crimson trees as a stark contrast to the baby blue sky and the white, cotton-candy clouds.

I see the low-hanging clouds cover the ground and lift mysteriously as the sun breaks through the morning.

I meet a new friend and see the shiny eyes of Jesus and feel a kindred spirit within just a few moments of exchanged conversaton.

I encounter a young couple who could be living for themselves - in Africa, begging for support to feed dying babies of another race, another country, a result of someone else's neglect.

I see a lazy cat stretch and shake and notice the exquisite markings of a wild, exotic beast.

I go to a football game and watch the energy and the raw talent and the futures being created for young men with just a brown piece of leather and hear the glorious sounds and pounding beat of a marching band.

When I smell lilac and honeysuckle and the breath of fresh rain.

When I see a splash of take-away-your-breath-beauty on a fall night in the sky.

When I remember how I awoke from a near-death moment twice in my life to find the tiny body of an infant baby cradled between my arms and my heart for the very first time, and the sweet scent of my baby's breath and the soft whistle of their oh-so-small breathing.

When I see a child quote scripture with the innocence of a baby lamb.

When a prisoner in body and spirit lets go and lets God - and is freed from being a prisoner in his soul with one touch of God Himself.

When I look at an endless ocean and a stretch of virgin beach hearing nothing but the roaring of the slamming surf.

When I walk along the seashore and discover its scattering of more shells that my imagination can even fathom and each one is unique.

When I look up at the stars and know God knows each one of them, EACH one by name.

When I need to cry and someone is there with a hanky AND a shoulder.

When I throw back my head to laugh with everything inside bursting with glee, and someone laughs with me.

When I hear someone say they saw the angels in a dying spouse's hospital room.

When someone precious dies and I am assured that death is a doorway and not a dead end.

I know there's a heaven when I read...

Revelation 19:11

Then I saw Heaven open wide-and oh! a white horse and its Rider. The Rider, named Faithful and True, judges and makes war in pure righteousness. His eyes are a blaze of fire, on his head many crowns. He has a Name inscribed that's known only to himself. He is dressed in a robe soaked with blood, and he is addressed as "Word of God." The armies of Heaven, mounted on white horses and dressed in dazzling white linen, follow him. A sharp sword comes out of his mouth so he can subdue the nations, then rule them with a rod of iron. He treads the winepress of the raging wrath of God, the Sovereign-Strong. On his robe and thigh is written, King of kings, Lord of lords.
