Brokenness

I said, "You are my servant, I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.... -Isaiah 41:10

I was sitting in my room last night, and I had kind of a downer day, and my devotional hit this of all verses. I love the fact that even though God has led me to an area of my life in which I'm BROKEN, I can hear the comforting and loving words of God. It seems to me when I'm broken, I hear Him more clearly than when I'm busy or doing stuff. Also, this was cool but I was walking across campus, and God said, "look up." So I did what he told me to do, and a man was walking by me. His shirt said Trust Me....Wow...THEN IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH CHECK THIS OUT!

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who put their trust in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint. -Isaiah 40:28-31

I'm one of those guys that I'm so ignorant that God has to really break me for me to understand what he wants for me. What is it going to take for you? TRUST HIM, AND CALL OUT TO HIM! Ask him to do whatever it takes so that you can truly feel the love he has for you. Then, you will find peace in his plan for your life....

Amen, bro. I know I'm not that much older than you, but I am so encouraged to see younger students grasp the beauty of God. That rocks, bro. Always keep that head up, and you will see God everywhere.
