Sometimes…. There are times in our lives where someone just walks in and becomes a part of it. At first we might look at them suspiciously but as time goes on they kinda prove themselves to be the real deal, or at least that’s what we tend to believe. So we make them a part of our lives, we trust them with some of our vital issues. We make them a part of us and grant them access to those areas that not many will have access to. We entrust them with our heart, we stand to defend them if needs be and we give them priority when prioritization comes into play. Then one day, without any warning, they shatter all the trust we gave them, the white heart given to them is returned brown and muddy, soiled and bruised, the priority we always granted them is scorned, the defence we always granted them turns us into a laughing stock and while we lean down to pick up the pieces, they simply walk away as if nothing just happened. For us it becomes hard to comprehend what just happened. It is at that moment that everyone suddenly seem untrustworthy. After such an ordeal, we feel that we cannot trust anyone but ourselves. And who can blame us? No one would relish the idea of undergoing the same type of pain twice. So it is no wonder when a voice comes to us and says “let I help you pick up those pieces” that we immediately reject that offer to help. When He says, give me your heart and I will renew it for you, we refuse as we jealously guard it while trying to clean it up ourselves, an exercise that becomes in vain. When He says, come let me wipe away those tears, we refuse, wondering if we will end up shedding more tears instead. Well, let me request that if such ever happen to you or has happened to you, please do listen to that voice, that is the best decision you can ever make. You say well its easier said than done and I agree, you say you have no idea and I disagree. You see, I have been there…and I know what it feels like, I know the pain, I understand the hurt, the mistrust, the disappointment and more importantly I understand end result of putting the trust in the still voice of God. I know the joy unspeakable that result from there, I know the peace that I received as a result, the peace that surpasses all understanding. You also qualify and can have that peace. It’s a kind of peace that doesn’t make sense because in the midst of all the happenings, suddenly nothing else matters, one becomes at peace and those around you think that you are crazy but you on the other hand know that you are not… So just let go and let God.
