Dear Reader's
How many of you say you are god today? but inside you are broken, you're barely making it through the days, but you remain strong, you do this day in day out and tell everyone even yourself you are amazing.. let me call your bluff today.
Last night i had this dream that i was at my parents church, i walked in and i was not myself i was sad and quiet like there was a heaviness on me. then out of the blue there was a lady who touched me. I simply said please don't touch me, but she said something all of a sudden i got extremely angry. i ran out of the service in tears. as i went outside my mom said Elsbeth darling are you OK then I completely broke down, No mom I am not OK, i haven't been for a while. i fell in her arms and just cried. Dad stood by and told me that he loved me and that he was proud of me i cried even more then i did with mo thinking if they only knew what i have done they wouldn't be proud of me. then i woke up early in the morning with tears streaming down my face.
Do you pretend as well? are you like me?you have some serious dam walls up, and sometimes it causes more damage trying to protect yourself from being hurt again,
This morning I got a water bottle ready to take to work with me. i put it in the bag i thought the lid was tight but NO it leaked water all over everything in that bag, my phone included. when i got to work i put this water bottle in the freezer part of the fridge and guess what it did it again. inside my bag i had one of those jose Louis things its wrapped in a clear package so you can see the contents but when the water leaked on it it caused the top layer to be stuck to the clear plastic wrap. inside was crumbs and this chocolaty goodness once solid now its broken and all scattered. all cause water leaked on the plastic. this is what inspired this blog the blasted water bottle spill.
truth is you don't have to have everything all together it's OK to be broken, its OK to have sad and bad days,but when we try to cover up how we feel whats really real with us this is a normal thing i realise this but here's the thing when we act so strong all the time we become callous of heart we act lie we don't need anyone to help us we can do everything on our own, that's a lie we need help. much like the jose Louis when it started out hard and solid all it took was a little moisture and it crumbled to pieces. eventually you are going to have to trust someone, eventually you are going to have to let someone in eventually you are going to have to let someone love you.
So let's go, let's break the dam wall. and stop hiding behind our defence mechanisms of fear and what if they do this what if they say this... you may be good at fooling others but at the end of the day you can't fool yourself. here's the thing i totally where my heart on my sleeve. but there is things that I don't even want people to know about me it's cause i have closed off people. people Will only get so close to me and then i freeze up and freak out inside cause they have gotten to close to the person that i have hidden from everyone. it's like i am in this dark room and the light is trying to creep in yet i keep shutting the blinds. and sometimes it only takes one person to open the blinds, so that you can see light again, i know it's going to hurt, i know it's not going to happen if you snap your fingers. this thing called fear can only be broken when you accept how much God truly loves you. yes you are loved. god loves you he loves every detail of your life. trust him he wont abandon you nor just say he loves you then walk away on you. when God tells he loves you he's saying i love every part of you inside and out.
Dear God, I pray for everyone who is reading this i pray that you would soften there hearts that you would go deep inside and break down every wall every heavy chain and breathe life into us again. Thank you that you love us even when we don't deserve it.
speak to the depths of our wandering hearts ad please place your hedge of protection upon our thoughts our words our hearts. keep us safe wrapped in your arms of love.
you are never alone... for i know the plans i have for you declares the Lord plans not to harm you plans to prosper you to give you a hope and a future
~Jeremiah 29:11
