Out of nearly ten thousand songs on my iTunes, I hit random & my song with an ex-boyfriend starts to play. Don't get me wrong, I wish him well in every place life takes him & harbor no bitter feelings. It's funny that something 'so right' could become quite a blessing in the heartbreak. The song, on the other hand, got me to thinking about the lessons I've learned from where I've been versus where I am. So this is actually about that...
I've done so many things wrong in life. Some of my actions were birthed in reaction to turmoil while others were strictly out of rebellion. Thankfully I hold tight to God's all sufficient grace. It took quite a while, however, before I could forgive myself & begin to live within His blessing. I am not defined by my past, but it has it's part in the woman I've become. I cannot pretend to be someone I'm not- I need to let my passions, personality, experiences, & principles shine through in order to be fully effective in any area.
Throughout the past two months, God has been breaking down the walls I've built & has ripped open the wounds of numerous broken hearts. His purpose has been to mend my heart properly. In all honesty, at times it's been quite painful & I realize just how foolish I had become. Now that my heart is in the healing stage, I see how critical it is for me to guard it. I sought to find my value in people & discovered that it can only be found in Him. I am a treasured possession. I am worth dying for.
