Are you thinking, how could God break your heart if He loves you?
Well, He loves me so much He broke it in the best way possible.
Here’s my story.
I always thought that when people heard God’s voice, they heard this big grandiose voice telling them what to do.
Maybe some people hear God that way.
I don’t.
I have never heard a voice.
I have never seen His face.
I always thought, if He calls me His child and loves me so much, then why doesn’t He talk to me, but He talks to other people?
What am I doing wrong to not receive this gift?
Why do they get to see visions and prophesy over people and I don’t?
Why do I have to strive, yet they receive You so fully?
What is my gift Lord, what is it??
Well, it’s funny what happens when you ask the Lord for something.
He might just give you what you ask.
The Lord gave me a vison, actually, a couple of them.

I have felt His love.
I have felt His joy.
He has given me visions and dreams.
He calls me His child.
All because I simply asked.
I think all too often we, as Americans, focus on what we don’t have instead of what we do have.
Who the heck are the Jones’ any way?
God gave us each a special gift.
Ask the Lord what yours is, if you don’t already know.
He will reveal it to you.
Use that gift in His name.
Don’t compare your gifts to other’s gifts.
I am a victim of comparison.
I have realized that I have held many people above me.
I have always compared myself to them.
I have always strived to be more or different from what God created me to be.
I was never content with who God wanted me to be.
That is why my heart was covered in steel.
I wasn’t allowing the Lord to speak truth into me.
I kept Him out.
That all changed when the Lord changed my heart.
When I finally let light and love cover me.
He took the lies and turned them into truth.
I no longer fear the future.
I no longer put myself in a box of societal norms like getting married, having babies, and working 9-5.
I no longer allow myself to feel sorry for what I don’t have.
I no longer am living a life trapped by chains of comparison.
All of those feelings I had before fully receiving this gift of a broken heart, went away.
He has never made me feel shame, in fact, He takes it away.
He has never called me not enough, in fact, He tells me I am enough.
He has never held me down in chains, in fact, He sets me free.
He has never lied to me, in fact, He only speaks the truth.
He has never left my side, in fact, He is ALWAYS right there.
He has never said you are not a good enough follower, He says thank you for choosing me.
I AM FREE.
The Lord broke the chains, broke the steel from around my heart, and set me free.
He broke my heart, broke the shame, broke the guilt, broke the pain, broke the lost feeling, broke the fear, broke the comparison.
For that, I am eternally grateful.
Thank You Lord for breaking my heart.
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
