| It wouldn't be so beautiful if it wasn't first broken. |
So, here's the breakdown; I am a stained glass window. Right now, I'm broken. Shattered, actually. But God is in the process of putting me back together. You see, I had to be broken in order to reach the beauty that He has in store for me. It hurts like crazy, but I never wish it wasn't this way. Admittedly, I sometimes plead with Him, "Daddy, why? Why do I have to watch the man I love move on and find someone else? Why can't I just be over it like he is? Why am I not happy again yet? Can I please have a day without crying?" But those aren't questions I need the answers to. Honestly, I have complete trust in God for the first time in my entire life. I know that what He has planned for me is good, and is beyond my wildest dreams.
C.S. Lewis discusses in The Weight of Glory how we, as humans, are too easily satisfied. I would have been happy with Zach. I would have been satisfied. But, as C.S. Lewis says, that would be like being content to play in a sandbox in the backyard, simply because I didn't know that there was a sandy beach awaiting me. I would have been satisfied, but for me God has so much more. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Zach isn't an absolutely amazing young man. He is. And the Lord is working in him in big ways right now, too. That is going to be awesome. What I'm saying is this; Daddy has something in store for me, and I have to let go of the future I had planned for myself in order to pursue the future that awaits me.
In closing, listen closely to the words of this song. It epitomizes what it is to find joy in sorrow. And it's pretty ;) So, enjoy.
Oh, and by the way,
My God is Enough <3
