"Promise me this, that you will not allow life to harden your heart because it will if you allow it. Always stay open to the possibilities of a new Love, it could be right in front of your face, and always have faith that God wants you to be happy and he has wonderful things planned for you." ----- Karen KostylaBeautiful, isn't it? Yet we fail in all that it highlights. We allow the difficulties of life to harden our hearts...... close our doors to new love and possibilities when we are broken lost and confused..... and doubt our God in His plans for us when we are at our lowest ebb.
And still.... God loves us inspite of our frailties flaws and imperfections. He picks us up every time we fall. He comforts and heals our broken hearts and souls. He understands the times when we struggle with our faith. Not once, not twice, but all the time.
That said, I think it won't be so hard to keep those promises, Karen Kostyla. Cos we are backed up by the magnificent love of a wonderful God. Hope can't be very far behind. It's just a prayer away.
"Promise me this, that you will not allow life to harden your heart because it will if you allow it.....beautiful lines and its what generally happens..now I shall remember it.
ReplyDeleteCouple of years back, this was my favorite line ---- "Best is yet to come".

ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Hi Deb,
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone. I've been there recently when my spirits seemed to be such a heavy load and I didn't know why. Then I realized that perhaps 'twas God's way of saying .. 'Slow down. Be still.' So I did. He was right. Always is.
You'll be fine, Deb. God's there to make it happen. Blessings to you and your family.
