One of my passions in life is knowing the hearts of others. I love when someone shares a piece of their heart with me because it shows me they trust me. It may be something painful they are experiencing or an unexpected joy. I treasure these conversations because I too long to share my heart. We were made to experience life through our hearts and in doing so we experience the heart of God!
My heart is full of joy and peace, but there is sorrow too! It is oddly glorious!
In this sorrow, it is easy for me to fall into the trap of silence. When I do, it gets harder to share out of my real heart. However, the Lord has used my brokenness to walk alongside those who are in need.
"Still loving, though discouraged
Still giving, though spent
Still patient, though exasperated
Still sensitive, though offended
Still hopeful, though worn down by life"
