When you feel as if your life is shattering
Things happen in our world. Good things. Bad things. That's life. We all know that. God has not promised us a pain free or stress free life but He does promise us that He will be with us and never leave us. Sometimes that is hard to remember, especially when you feel as if everything around you is crumbling. Like a broken mirror or glass. Have you ever seen the ripples after it got smashed by some force? The cracks appear at first and then sooner or later, the pieces start shattering. Something like the photo below.
Sometimes, we feel that way don't we? Things happen beyond our control. Our steady lives suddenly isn't so steady anymore. It may be bad news from the doctor or a loss of job or an accident or worse. Something that happens in an instant to dramatically change your life. You see these things happen everyday on the news. My heart aches to see someone in pain, their tears of sorrow and their cries for help. If you look at current events in this country, you can see the shattering of lives and the continuous conflicts. There is a breakdown in society. A breakdown in morals and values. A breakdown in the relationship with God. Though that may be, we need to realize that no matter what happens in our lives, God is still in control. All we need to do is let Him have full rein in our lives. We cannot see clearly because of that shattered view we have in front of us.
On a personal note, I am having a lot of problems with my eyes. I cannot have clear focus and get stabbing pains on occasions. Sometimes it can be frustrating because like everyone else who can see, I depend on my eyes for everything. My writing has been affected among other things. I do have to struggle with it but everyday I need to remind myself that even though God is behind the scenes, He is still in control. Have a blessed day!
