There once was a girl with a broken heart. She thought that love could fix her heart, give her a purpose and outlet for the love she desires to give. She desired to know the love of a child and to be a mother. Although, her path in life has been very different than that of her hearts desires.
Her life had many unexpected twists and turns, sacrifice, sadness and loss. There were days she struggled to find hope and days where despair was all she knew. The mountains before her and the long journey she has endured had given her a resounding ache that pounded and tore at her very core which caused a sense that anything but life seemed to be a consolation, she no longer wanted to go on. Her thoughts focused on this statement, “There has to be more to life than this?” What was her purpose? Was this life worth living…
Have you ever felt so broken, tired and weary that you no longer have any strength to go on…that’s when you feel the breaking point.
This girl was at that moment. A moment where her heart was too tired to even cry. She was just ready to stop. She wondered, how do I go on? In her best moments in life and in her lowest moments, she always asked God for the grace to do his will, for his help, his healing and prayed for those who have hurt her. She thanked God for the love in her heart she has for those on her path and she thanked God for his will in all things even the things that overwhelmed her.
We have a good father, who loves us beyond measure and beyond what we can imagine. And in the days that followed this girls trials and heartache, God in his goodness provided surprise after surprise and blessing after blessing, confirmation after confirmation which provided a refreshing abundance of peace and joy. Remember to always ask for what you need. Remember if you ask you shall receive. Through God’s radical love and generosity he provided a restoration of hope in this girls story.
God can change what you see, what you feel and he can heal you even when you feel so broken that you could never be the same. As he writes your story and influences the moments of your life remember we have a Good Father in heaven. The God of Surprises and he will never abandon you. There is a song that reflects this girls story, a story of heartache and hope… I am sharing it below and I pray you never know what it feels like to be at a breaking point in your life but if you do, or if your there, know the night can only last for so long…
The song below is The Sun is rising by Britt Nicole:

I love this. I would like to “Like” it too but I do not see a “Like” button. Anyway, this is a great column. I recall when I was a boy my now-late father used to say “The sun will rise again tomorrow” whenever we were having a bad day. It was comforting. I now use the same line with my family.
Thanks!
Reid! Thank you! I appreciate your sharing your Story about your Father. Great words of wisdom!
