Between the Roots: Is Your Life Out of Control?

When things seem out of control, ask God to bring everything back to order. Ask Him for wisdom in knowing what you are supposed to do.

Fulfilling Every Promise

Sometimes we act like everything is O.K. Sometimes we think that things are finished with. Sometimes we fall down and feel weak. I know God will never leave my side but why oh why does something that happened nearly 6 months ago still affect me. The one thing I need now is a hug. I know that God is feeling my pain right now but why oh why cant I feel his arms around me. Why cant I physically feel his arms holding me tight. Whispering in my ear words that you would say to comfort someone like "shhh" "its OK".

I know the answer but I hate admitting it. When we are really hurting we run we pull away from the one we love. We don't always want to be held by them, we don't want them to see us cry like crying is something we should be ashamed of. We fight it, we try to show that we are fine that we are coping and if we show some kind of weakness then our world is going to crash.

When people are in pain they cry out to God. I cried out to God. I couldn't understand why but I put music on that takes you to a place where your only focusing on God. Songs like "My Jesus, My Saviour". When we are at our most vulnerable and crying out to God and saying you are all I need it is then we feel him wrapping his arms around us comforting us. It is not that God has left us but that we ran from him and now we are both running into each others arms. Him the God of love, the loving father that doesn't want to see his child upset. He is there holding me, fulfilling every promise he made about never deserting me.
