You're laying in bed, curtains drawn, morning ticking by, to do list sitting un-touched. Motivation doesn't always come easily. Or maybe you're sitting in a closet or a stairwell with clenched fists trying to quell the frustrations of a day in your life. Defeat. Contempt. Disaster. Confusion. Or just our old friend- exhaustion.
Parenting. Grieving. Guiding. Studying. Helping others. Emoting. Praying hard. Commitments. Follow-up. Living.
This saga of surviving, providing & thriving. Life throbbing through your veins. Doing. Being. Understanding.
You can do it. Yeah, "it" really is worth something. And even when no one else seems to see it, God does. He sees you struggling, cocooned in the old fears and pains... pushing, thrashing & finally fighting out into an anticlimactic world where you could be disappointed, bashed down again; where messes still happen and sin still prevails. You stretch out and still groggy tiptoe into fields of dew and delicate woods and down worn-down worn-out paths. You are not alone shivering in this cold, preparing to fight your battles and lift your burdens. No. Don't let silence and distance and being different blind you from Him. Be still a moment. Though you feel you're just coming up, gasping for breath, frantic and busy and needed and flailing to succeed... be still. And know. I am.
Now let this knowledge warm you. You are merely one of the created. You aren't in charge. But today is yours to take. His love is yours to drink in. The graces and mercies whispered into moments as He sees you carry on are waiting. Beauty is here. Rise from your graves and search for Him. He is here and he beckons... there is still a reason to live. Fight to live another day. Give up the griefs and allow joy to penetrate the dark and lonely places. Arise and search for love is here. To give and to recieve. To breath in and out.
There is more to here than what you're feeling.
