Though my heart aches and hurts, I will choose to smile. I will be thankful for those that love me and care for me. I will bless God for safeguarding me. I will bless Him because He is the author of my life.
This is a journey. This is a long trip, a voyage. Voyage is an interesting word--it means to travel by water or space. In our humanness, we are not able to do either of those. We need a vehicle to get us to our next destination. Only God can carry us from place to place. You see, I would naturally want to sit in my hurt. He wants to lift my head, love me, and show me that there is only rest in Him not in my hurt. Only true rest comes from our loving Father. So many times we want to simply escape the hurt, what God wants us to know is the best voyage is not in finding a new place but in seeing our existing place and future places with new eyes and a healed heart.
"I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord."
Psalm 27:13-14
