A few weeks ago I was listening to a song called “We Are Glass” – written by Jon Nite and Ross Copperman and performed by Thompson Square. The lyrics of the song reminded me just how fragile I am, how fragile we all are. The words touched a tender spot of my heart that needs healing. It’s so perfectly and painfully true. Watch the lyric video below and let the words enter your soul.
As this song bounced around in my head and heart, I entered into conversation with the Lord and began to journal. I wrote about my emotions and how I felt so shattered and this is how the Lord responded.
These tears you cry, I cry the same tears for you. In my human form I feel what you feel. As your heart crumbles and shatters, mine does the same. You are not alone as you feel what you feel. I am there with you, holding you, embracing you, wrapping you in my love and healing the brokenness in your heart. My power is made perfect in your weakness. Know that in your weakest moments, that is when I am closest to you. When you feel beaten down and shattered I am what keeps you afloat. I will never let you sink – keep your eyes on me. Your human heart will never know the fullness of my love for you – fore my love, in its fullness would be too much for you to handle so I give you what you need and when you need it. My love is never failing. When you feel you are on your own, turn to me – look me in the eyes and I will move in your soul – in your whole being. I am your spirit. I am your hope. I am LOVE.
Love Always,
Your Heavenly Father
Throughout the ebb and flow of life, we experience highs and lows. We can’t escape the roller coaster ride of life and will surely feel as though we’ve been shattered at times. The words the Lord spoke to me, He speaks those same words to you. So print them out and hang them on your fridge, put them in your wallet, or wherever you will see them often. Let them be a reminder to you that He is with you through it all. He knows what you feel and He will never leave you.

I, too, am here, when you feel alone. The words that he spoke to you are beautiful. I can tell that you spend time reading His word. At times when you need it most, He seems to remind you of what you already know but don’t have the strength to see. I had a similar moment of encouragement when I was pregnant with my seventh child and feeling like I didn’t have what it takes to do all that God is asking of me. I was running late for work and my 3 year old threw a 20 minute fit over breakfast. Then she didn’t have time left to eat it, so I put her in the car, and she screamed the whole way to the babysitter’s house. I kept thinking, ” It’s hard enough to get up and go to work everyday when there’s so many that need me.” I was tired and discouraged, and feeling very much alone. I cried out to God in my heart on the way to work that morning. I didn’t feel like anyone understood. I felt very much alone, and like I was never going to have what it takes to be the mom that I wanted to be. That was when I very strongly felt the Lord’s presence. I did not see him, but his presence was as real as if I did. It’s difficult to explain if you’ve never experienced it. Jesus sat in the passenger seat next yo me that day. He said nothing. He just listened. I felt His presence, and was humbled that He would come to be with me. I have many times experienced the truth in those words, “We are NEVER alone.”
