Discouragement

Sometimes I get discouraged and it scares me. I can see me falling headlong into this feeling and just staying there. I can even see me sitting there in that pit, cross legged sometimes and other times curled up in the fetal position. It almost feels comforting, this picture in my mind. But then I remember that it is the complete opposite of comfort. I pull up my perspective and I see me down there in that pit, alone. Then I hurt for that person down in the pit.

People disappoint – that’s just a fact. People hurt me, and oh, yes, that is a huge fact. I have to be the energizer bunny and just take the hit, fall down and then get right back up. I don’t have to stand there and continue taking the hits, but they are going to come (and boy, do the hits come). I can’t dwell on them but I especially hate it when what happens gets stuck in my mind.

This song just came on . . .

“When you feel like you are alone in your sadness and it seems like no one in the whole wide world cares. And you want to get away from the madness. You just call my name and I’ll be there.”

I can’t tell you how many times He has been there – Jesus Christ called Him the Comforter.

“Call my name. Say it now. I want you to never doubt that the love I have for you is so alive.”

Third Day Call My Name

See why I listen to this kind of music? See why I submerse myself in His word?

Our Creator loves us. He loves me. He did not leave us alone in this world and He is creating a place for us where we will be eternally loved.

So, my children, who I love with all of me, when you are lost and sad, please set your music to His music and tune your ears to His word. You don’t have to wait for His comfort until after you die. He is here now and He loves us. He loves you. Rejoice!
