What can come from a broken heart, yes? This song was in my thoughts and I went looking for it and realised I had the words wrong. It’s actually, “What becomes of the broken hearted?” (Jimmy Ruffin)
And truthfully my heart felt broken when one of the youths in church said that she needed the spiritual courage to come back to the church because of what was said to her. Part of me truthfully doesn’t blame her. I’m not sure I would stay if I hadn’t been asked to stay. Sometimes Yahweh, I think this is the hardest and the loneliest assignment you’ve ever given me. It’s truly not easy and I’m trying to remain faithful in this. But it does break my heart and there is the knowledge that it definitely breaks your heart even more. I will stay, humble myself. Challenge and hopefully spark a change so that not another would say that they need to develop the spiritual courage to come to church.Â
Yahweh, I pray for our, actually your young people. That in spite of what the church throws at them, they would find rest in you. I pray especially for Mia, Gen, Angie, Jay. So many that have been hurt by our people. Heal them Yahweh. Lyn. She has isolated herself. But I’m thankful that she cannot hide from you. Yahweh, may they be strengthened in you and find peace in you. Help me to know what else I can do. What else you require of me. Thank you for your grace to accomplish what you desire. Because I need your grace. Like need it, need it. Keep us Yahweh until you return. I love you.
TODAY’S THANKFUL TALLY
- I did not fall flat on my face while reading the poem/spoken word. Whooohoooo!!
- Being brokenhearted and finding (looking at you) the grace to go forward.
- The ability or rather the choice to smile though frustrated.
