TELL YOUR HEART TO BEAT AGAIN
By: Ron Hubbard
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
Psalms 34:18 NLT
There have been many times in my life when I didn’t know if I could keep going. From my dad telling me I wasn’t good enough, to losing my mom when I turned nineteen, and many other things, it was hard to keep moving forward. Then a few years ago, I was faced with a desperate situation that brought me to my knees. Sometimes God has to bring us to a place of total surrender and trust in Him to put back all the broken pieces.
During that time, God showed me this song and the lyrics were just what I needed:
LET EVERY HEARTBREAK
AND EVERY SCAR
BE A PICTURE THAT REMINDS YOU
WHO HAS CARRIED YOU THIS FAR
CAUSE LOVE SEES FARTHER THAN YOU EVER COULD
IN THIS MOMENT HEAVEN’S WORKING
EVERYTHING FOR YOUR GOOD*
Through this song, God reminded me that He is a Loving Father and that He is working all things for my good. Even though what I went through was difficult, He not only proved that He’s a Loving Father, but that He’s in the business of healing and restoring everything that was broken or lost.
If you are going through a time in your life where you are experiencing similar things, know that your Loving Father cares about your situation more than you do. I pray this song reminds you to put your trust 100 percent in Him and watch what He does in your life. He is crazy in Love with you and has amazing plans for you!
