Have You Ever . . .?

Have you ever had someone confide something so devastating , so heart wrenching , that you couldn' t stop thinking about it ? So guttural your heart and soul wouldn't let you move past it .

How can someone that once professed love to their mate in front of God , now abuse them in that same Presence ? How do I explain to my daughter that  once there existed love and not violence ? Once , this person loved the other ?

Cruelty exists in many forms and when we hear or see of them , it brings us to our knees asking God to show His mercy . Prayers are not always answered the way we would like them to be . Sometimes , God shows His mercy by bringing someone home to Him rather than saving them from a bad situation here on earth .

Our first instinct is to ask God , " Where are you in this situation ? Do you not see what is happening ? " We have no right to question the Almighty . We do not see what He sees . We have no authority to ask that of Him .

As the day wore on , the weight upon my heart grew heavier . I prayed so hard that tears flowed down my cheeks . Oh , how I want to save this person from that other who once vowed to love them . Have you ever felt so utterly hopeless ? Have you ever felt like there was nothing else to do but kneel and lay it before Him ? Would you pray with me ?

Have a Blessed day everyone .
