Heartache
Have mercy on me, O God,according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
~Psalm 51:1
When love seems to fail us and we lack compassion for ourselves and others, how comforting to know how our God has mercy on us. Heartache is excruciating, but yesterday I was reminded that heartache is not only related to failed romances. True and unselfish heartache comes from loving a beautiful 9 year old and then having to wave good bye as she returns to her abusive family life. How selfish of me to have dwelled so long on the pain of a betrayed relationship(s), with worries, what if's, and why's. That may sound unsympathetic, but I've become numb to relationship heartache, I won't talk about it, it doesn't deserve my time. I want nothing to do with it...but I want all to do with this other type of love heartache. A heartache that means something larger than this world, a heartache of God's love for human kind.
MAY YOUR HEARTACHE AS GOD'S AND NOT AS MANS
