Yes I understand why things had to happen this way. I understand his reason for causing me pain. But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt. It does not call upon the sun when dark clouds have loomed over me. Let the rain come then if it must come And let it wash away the dust that hurt my eyes

Love is hard to find hard to keep and hard to forget.

I wore your promise on my finger for one yearIll wear your name on my heart til I dieBecause you were my boy you were my only boy forever.

To be rejected by someone doesnt mean you should also reject yourself or that you should think of yourself as a lesser person. It doesnt mean that nobody will ever love you anymore. Remember that only ONE person has rejected you at the moment and it only hurt so much because to you that persons opinion symbolized the opinion of the whole world of God.

Until this moment I had not realized that someone could break your heart twice along the very same fault lines.

I was blind and heart broken and didnt want to do anything and Gus burst into my room and shouted I have wonderful news And I was like I dont really want to hear wonderful news right now and Gus said This is wonderful news you want to hear and I asked him Fine what is it and he said You are going to live a good and long life filled with great and terrible moments that you cannot even imagine yet

For my part I prefer my heart to be broken. It is so lovely dawn-kaleidoscopic within the crack.

Father be near as we are surrounded by this cloud of deep suffering. Open our eyes to see that you are all things the light and the darkness not only those things that seem good in our eyes but the horrifying unexplainable. Wrap us up inside of the cloud and reveal the mysteries that can only be learned in places of sorrow that when we walk out we will be as Moses transformed by the shadow and beaming with the radiant light of your glory. Give us the strength to love on though our hearts are broken.

when men tarry in the place of prayer with broken hearts and wounded souls thirsty to reach out then revival is at the door post

In life we dont always get what we want hopes and dreams get washed away so easily hearts are broken chances are missed and we always seem to end up right back where we started.
