From heartbroken to heart-beating

For those of you who read my last blog post, I am willing to bet that it was very evident that I was heartbroken.   I didn't know how to move on and have a real relationship with those who had hurt me because my heart felt like it was in so many pieces.  It was written all over my face and in my body language too. I couldn't go five minutes without someone asking me what was wrong or if I was okay, and I didn't know who to talk to.  


Anyway, tonight I went to our campus' monthly service called Heartbeat.  S.P. did a great job delivering the message and it was truly great.  What really got me however, wasn't the message that was given.  It was the message that came to me while we were worshiping at the end.


I saw this anomaly on the projector screen.  It was small enough that you couldn't find it unless you were really staring.  But to me, it stood out, my attention couldn't be diverted from it.  It was moving like a heartbeat. And this....thought...came to me.


"When you feel like your heart is broken, for whatever reason, remember that God's heart is whole and it beats for you.  God's heartbeat should become your heartbeat.  While he is putting the broken, damaged pieces of your heart back together, God connects His heart to yours to keep it beating.  But you have to let Him."


With my heart still being put back together, I realized how much I have been longing for God's heartbeat, and all along it was right there, keeping my heart beating.  But I didn't realize it.  And while my heart may be broken many times over by the ones I love the most, I know now that there is a heart that will beat for mine when mine can no longer beat.
