Do you ever have those days where you just feel weighted down?? Like the past is just looming and there is nothing you can do, say, or think to get it to go away…
Well that has been my last couple days.. I just have been thinking about my past and with that comes thinking about my brokenness.
I am exactly one week away from training camp and feel like I should have it "all together" right now. I "was" doing so well being contented in the Lord and living out of that place. Where did this weight come from? How do I make it go away….
On my way home tonight the Lord reminded me of some things…
It was the words of the song Nothing is Wasted by Jason Gray that first rang true in my spirit…
It talks about the pain and brokenness in this world and how in the hand of the Redeemer nothing is wasted. How easily do I let myself get bogged down in the brokenness of my past or instead of freeing my mind of those things I let them linger.
Just a couple songs later the Lord wanted to remind me again that His Redemption wins even when I feel worn…
Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That You can mend a heart that’s frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that’s dead inside can be reborn
‘Cause I’m worn
So tonight I go to sleep releasing all of this into the hands of Jesus the Savior and Redeemer knowing that no matter how worn down or broken my life can feel NOTHING is WASTED!!!
