For You

I wish I could hug you.
When you ask me to write something inspirational,
I just closed my eyes and ask God..."what does her heart need?"
The first thing that came to my mind was HOPE.
Something to look beyond all that is going on.
You need some quiet time for just you and God, and when you do here is something that I want you to do:
See yourself pushing a button like you would in the car to roll down a window.
Let all that is going on roll down for a little while.
Ask God to give you a vision of hope.
Now, look beyond it all.
What has God placed in your heart to see?
What is the desire that he has given you that gives you hope?
Only you and God know what it is. Go ahead and smile, it's okay...
it's okay to have hope for your future, for your family's future.
Now, see a big cardboard box in your mind,
take each family member that is hurting, give them hugs and kisses and with a smile lovingly place them in the box.
Take the events that have caused so much pain and toss all that in there as well.
Close the lid.
Look up...
there is Jesus, He is smiling and has His arms out to you.
He wants the box, all of it, everyone and everything that is in it.
He does not want you to carry it anymore. He is able to heal it all.
He wants to heal it all. That is why he died on the cross. He understands
your pain, and your family's pain.
All you have to do now is nod your head, and He will take that box from you.
Then you crawl up in His arms and rest, baby...just rest.
It's on His shoulders now, not yours...

Jeremiah 29:11--"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
