My heart has been struggling
But God has been keeping me together. Time and time again I’ve found myself at His feet broken and lost. Each and every time He has never failed to come and meet me at my time of need. I really needed comfort today. I needed it so bad.
Today, in my time of need, God lead me to pick up a book that had been sitting in my shelf. I haven’t read that particular book in about two or three years. I didn’t finish it. But today, God urged me to re-read it from the beginning. I remember praying and crying out to Him and all the while, the image and memory of a certain book kept popping up in my mind. So I picked up that book and read the introduction and from the first sentence to the last word of that chapter, there were streams of tears running down my face because every single part of it was exactly what my heart needed.
Of course I thought, “I should’ve read this again a long time ago!” But then God said, “This moment in time is the time you needed to read it.” There’s a reason God wanted me to re-read it at this specific time. As I mentioned, I had read half of this book about two or three years ago, but back then, the book didn’t apply to my life as real and true like it does now. It speaks specifically to my struggles and specifically to my troubled heart.
God came to my rescue. He used a book to speak to me. He used and is using the story of another woman’s life to encourage me and to bring me closer to Him and His will. I’m so very honored that the God of this universe cares enough for me to comfort my troubled heart.
