MY USELESS HEART (UPDATED WITH SCRIPTURE)

I don't know why,
 but my heart is heavy today.
I wonder if Job ever felt this way.
Pain, discouragement,
fear.
All it seems I want to do 
is sleep until the pain abates.
But is that what my Lord Jesus wants?
Should I be rejoicing in my pain
 because I know I must be doing something right?
Otherwise
 why would the fallen one even bother me?
Do you ever remind yourself 
that this life is just a test,
that the real reward lies at the end,
and that's when we can rest?
So heavy heart or not, 
I'm still going to reach out 
to those that are hurting,
worn,
torn,
rejected,
unhappy,
unloved.
Like me.
Then maybe I can find some peace.
After all, whether you want to believe it
or not,
God is in control.



PROVERBS 3:5-6

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL YOUR WAYS SUBMIT TO HIM, AND HE WILL MAKE YOUR PATHS STRAIGHT.
