Sometimes I feel like this angel. I feel like just putting my head down and sobbing. I used to think it was because I just wasn't strong enough to take what life dished out on me, and thought I wasn't a strong person because of my struggles. But whoah is me... once again I have to admit that I am but a human... mortal and (as usual) very wrong. I've come to see that we weren't created to survive on our own, by our own strength. I can see how God has used specific instances in my life (one that occurred recently particularly stands out in my mind) to show me how weak I am, but how strong he is... and how he never leaves me, even if I feel like he's far away. It never ceases to amaze me that he's always there when I turn to look for him. All this to say, that recently God has been teaching me that I need to lean on him. He can heal my broken heart, he can understand my hopes, dreams, and fears, he can comfort me, he can guide me, and he will never leave. Being a people person, it's easy for me to rely on those around me more than God... it doesn't take nearly as much faith. We must be broken in order for God to build us up again.
