Broken Concrete Block!

Repost from 2015: The broken concrete block: what it represents in my life... a few weeks ago my daddy came home from work to find this block had been moved from behind the barn to under our window behind the house. No doubt someone tried to break in, but it broke and crumbled.... God was there and I believe He prevented the house from getting broken into... yes, you are angry but you pray for the person's soul, praise God for His protection and do your best to go on... but there the broken concrete block lay and you see so much hurt going on, so much hate in this world, people being tortured and killed everyday for no reason or because they are Christians...God is still there... you see family members or friends or church family going through health issues, getting bad reports, suffering, declining health, but still...God is bigger and God is still there... You see so many hurting and seem to be forgotten or feel that way, and through tears and hurt you realize the Lord gave you the means and opportunity to minister to them so go through that open door and be His hands and feet, don't wait on someone else to do the ministry He has called you to do... God is there; still there... through stress and worry you realize tomorrow may not come, but if the Lord tarries, He has provided a much needed vacation for you and you praise Him for it and don't feel guilty. It is good to take time for yourself to regain strength and focus... God is here, God is there, God is everywhere... you get home from church and get a call from your daddy and find out the debit card has been compromised but the bank closed the card and declined a $400+ charge, and though a $100+ is pending, it will be reversed. Yes, you are frustrated but... God is still there. Once again you pray for the person's soul, thankful you still have money and move forward.

I keep this picture in my phone gallery, because this broken concrete block represents my brokeness... those times when the crumbled pieces of my hurt, disappointments, sorrows, pain, frustrations, anger, depression, sadness cloud my mind and fill my eyes with tears... I know God cares about those tears, and I know God is still there! When you feel broken, alone and like no one cares... God cares and God is there! Though the pieces are crumbled now... I pray daily for God's hand of protection, guidance, direction, favor and blessings... and that His Holy Angels encamp around me... knowing that He is coming to get me one day to take me to my Heavenly home...where the broken pieces will be put back together forever... not for evil purposes but pure and holy purposes... always remember that in the midst of it all... God is still there!!
