we are broken

I’ve been wondering something lately. You know how we get so caught up in life, and what’s going on in our world? Well, almost always, that mindset has a negative outcome. So here’s the big twist. I wonder what would happen if we made our minds and lives do a back flip, and put all of our focus into trusting God and living for Him instead of ourselves. I can tell you right now that we would be so much happier. I know me personally, I tend to live for myself more than half of the time. And let me tell you, it’s exhausting. It’s wearing me down and tearing me apart day by day. I can’t stand to worry about these silly little things that shouldn’t even matter, especially when God is saying “Dude, chill out. Let go, take a deep breathe, and take My hand. I’ve got it covered, my love.”  What do I think?  That He can’t handle it? Because there is nothing that He can’t handle. Sometimes I like to think that I’m some kind of super human, that I should have to carry my own worries, fears, addictions, hurt, disappointment, anger, unforgiveness…if I would just completely let go of everything…then I know I could get over everything that worries me, everything that scares the crap out of me, all those addictions that not only do I seem addicted to, but the ones that seem just as addicted to me, all that hurt, the disappointment that constantly weighs me down, all that anger that bubbles to the surface all too often, and all those people that I can’t seem to forgive…if I could let go…I mean truly and completely let go, then I could get over all of that. Letting go is like being set free. It’s like all that pressure smashing down on you is gone. Don’t get used to the pressure…it wasn’t meant to be there.
