Have you ever felt overwhelmed and wondered why the ‘world’ could not SEE what you were going through and stop? Stop for just one minute while you get a ‘grip’ on life, again?
Have you ever felt incapable of explaining why you feel the way you do – all you know is that it is just TOO MUCH, in that moment? (Job 3:1 – 26)
Have you ever poured your heart out to others and thought maybe they will understand and bring comfort, only to find that their words provide little comfort because they just don’t get it? (Job 16:2)
I have.
It has taken YEARS for the Potter to reshape my thinking – for me to realize just how unfair my expectations/needs/desires were. (Jeremiah 18:4)
God has shown me that the World is not supposed to stop because I am going through and that those around me – though they mean well – are NOT supposed to carry my ’emotional burdens’. (John 16:33, Matthew 11:28 – 29, John 14:18)
It took me 56 years to understand how unfair it is to expect those who love me to take HIS place as the HEALER of my heart. (Psalm 43:5)
I have ‘leveled up’ my expectations towards God and asked God to help me to seek Him during the hard times while the World Goes On. (Psalm 121:1, II Corinthians 4:8 – 18)
