Hi friends! So glad to be back with you today for another devotional podcast episode. I’m honored to be in your ear buds as I talk with you today about what’s been on my heart lately.
We all have this deep desire to BELONG. To be known. And we can’t escape it. It’s how we were created. We were created to be intimately known by the One who made us. By our creator God. But, when that need to BELONG….To feel apart….To feel known for who we were made to be isn’t met, we can get ourselves into deep waters. That’s when insecurity rises like the tide. That’s when we make decisions we wouldn’t normally. When we seek acceptance and approval from the world around us. When we want to be liked. To fit. To be “normal.”
We’ve all felt loss, grief, fear, and despair. And we’ve all cried out, “How long, Lord?” from the dept of our pain. When we’re feeling gutted by sorrow, that feels like it will never end, what do we do.
We lament.
We express our grief, sorrow, or regret.
Lament is a stepping stone.
It’s a step on the path toward healing and wholeness.
I don’t think we can fully heal without LAMENT. Just don’t let your feelings stop. They’ve got to keep on moving. You’ve got to at some point move from your sorrow to worship. God is looking after you. And he’s looking after me. Jesus sees your ocean of tears. And He is asking you to trust Him with your tears. What begins as a problem, must eventually end as a praise. Ask for the Lord’s help. Call out to him. He will answer you. Share all of your messy emotions with Him. He’s big enough. He can keep track of all your sorrows.
