Sadness, grief, lost, pain, hurt, weariness, weak, guilt, conviction and many other array of adjectives that can relate to the above. All those adjectives can describe heartache and how it can be brought about.After pondering for a few months, and talking to a few of my mentors I've come to a realization of another thing that can bring on heartache. The mending of a broken heart.
As the old saying goes, "Sometimes things have to get worst in order to get better." As we begin to surrender our lives to Christ, he begins to do a work in our heart. Taking out things, rearranging, drilling, and scraping all the things have broken our heart. It hurts so bad sometimes, you think because of past sins that God is coming back to punish you, which could be true when it's all said and done. But that punishment isn't Him seeking revenge. It's because He cares enough to let you know, what you did was wrong and that something better is to come of it all.
I've struggled a lot with the whole heartache thing, not enough to say I'm an expert, but enough to be aware of the feelings that come with it. Life is hard with everything that's going on in it. Much of it we're unaware of what's taking place in the world a majority of the time. Everyone feels heartache to a degree. But what I've learn is that heartache isn't always negative, even though it feels uncomfortable for the most part. Sometimes it's God doing some rearranging, and allowing light to shine in those places that were once dark and hidden. I'm seeing that heartache won't last forever, because soon enough all the pain and tears of this world will be no more.
Amen..its like having hard times, you don't know what good times are like and how to truly appreciate them until you have hard times, because how else would you know the difference?
