Feeling Better: Devotions From Time Of GraceExemplo
My Heart: I feel so sad
As you have figured out by now, life is not a sprint. It is a marathon. And just as our bodies physically dont bounce back as quickly from exertion or illness as they used to, I think our spirits lose some elasticity as the years roll on too.
Persistent disappointments sometimes make people violent or abusive or bitter. Sometimes they just make us sad. They grind down our optimism and cheerfulness to the point where even bits of good news dont cheer us up.
Heres where God can help. He is not only going to restore us completely in heaven--his restoration work is going on right now. If you have an ocean of sadness inside, dont give up. God hasnt! You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy (Psalm 30:11).
If youre thinking that you no longer have the strength to make your sad heart smile, you might be right. So give God a chance to do what you cant do on your own. Dance with him!
