I want to courage you to lean into the Lord this season! Take refuge in His presence! Let Him shelter you and Shield you with His presence. You may know my mom passed away 5 months ago! And ever since her death my heart had been broken. My chest was feeling so heavy! Every time I would think or say my mom my eyes would flood. This yearning to hear her voice this yearning to see her again. Ever since her passing I held on tight to the Lord, knowing He will see me through! But sometimes I would loose grip of Him. But the Good Lord help me to hold onto Him where my hands had lost grip!
And in this season the Lord has been and is a good shepherd, where His sheep’s wonders “and in this case focusing only on the hurt, the heartbreak,the lost” the Shepherd brings me back to Him with His Rod and staff. He begins to comfort me again. But when we go astray “not being in His presence”, the enemy “wolf” will absolutely play pattycake with your mind and your heart where your all emotions lays. So in this season the Lord is my life line, He has to be, He need to be. Because the moment I get out of His presence is the moment I feel like I am drowning in my own tears 😭. I feel like my heart is in pieces. There are time I feel like I am coming down with something but that’s depression trying to creep in. But the Lord continue to remind me of Matthew 11.
Mathew 11:28-30 says “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
When I feel weary and burdened with my mom passing I give it to the Lord matter fact, sometimes I just throw it at Him. There are times where I see His feet’s and kneel before Him and just cry it out. Like an ugly cry 😢 just crying take this cup Lord it’s to hard to bare! I trust that Your will was done and You did what was best for Your beloved daughter because she was Yours before she became my mom.
Matthew 11:28-30 o keep close to my heart ❤️ because Jesus doesn’t just watch our pain from a distance; But He invites us to place it in His hands, and in exchange, where He offers peace. Sometimes, that means coming to Him every day, even every moment, and surrendering the heaviness of loss to Him—trusting that He will lighten it bit by bit. God desires to carry us through even the hardest season.
The Joy of the Lord is my strength in this season and His peace that surpasses all understanding that guards, my heart and guards my mind, in Christ Jesus.
Be blessed and Jesus wants to carry your burdens.
