I started pondering what I could write about today, asking myself what was heavy on my heart. I read my devotional and read some bible verses before being distracted with Pinterest. I'm obsessed with Pinterest. Probably in an unhealthy way (que nervous laugh). Pinterest gives me inspiration for all the fun DIY things I can create. Then I got to thinking... why do I like to DIY stuff? Why is that something I enjoy? Part of me likes how it can be cheaper than purchasing something. The other part of me loves being able to see what I created from nothing, or from something that was broken and just needs a little love. But it isn't ever a sure thing. DIY projects are a little scary because they can end up using a bunch of my time and not working out. I could end up out of money, out of materials, AND a no forward progress on a project. Let me tell you something, that is the most frustrating. When I have put blood, sweat, and tears in a project and it's just not right when I am done. Then I got to thinking... God is a DIYer. He is not only A creator but THE creator. He put his time into creating LIFE. He put His blood, sweat, and many many tears into creating a perfect being. Can you even begin to imagine how disappointed He was when Adam and Eve betrayed him? When I try to imagine, I feel immense guilt.
God keeps coming back to heal you.He will forever come back to help us. We are broken. Just like when I see a project that no one else can see the end result and I go for it anyway - He knows how much potential we have. He knows how happy we could be if He could just reach us and be near to us like He created us to be. We have to stop running and hiding from God. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. |
