It's all I know how to do~~God does the rest

There's an ache deep down in the pit of my gut.

A broken-hearted son's tears still dampen my shoulder, like bloodshed from a deep wound, poured out in a mother's open arms.  His pain somehow penetrates my own heart, stabbing and throbbing as I hold him close.
 It's all I know how to do.

Another election~~~another uncertain future. Emotion surges in community, like caged animals, we cry out in fear as we envision loss of freedom and darkness looming over the Christian beliefs this country was founded upon.  I turn from the chatter on the TV and the comments on facebook and shut my eyes in weak surrender to God.
 It's all I know how to do.

A comment shared by one of my friends in Bible study today, twists my heart tight until the tears spring forth. What she said was, I believe, from the heart of God, spoken straight in my direction.  It caught me off guard totally and I lost control of all composure.  It was in reference to how we treat those who struggle with alcoholism.  And I know that I broke when she said it....and I cried in places nobody could see.
 It's all I know how to do.

Sometimes all I know how to do seems like it's not enough.  But it's simply all I have, and all I know.

I know how to hold the broken-hearted close.
I know how to close my eyes in weak surrender to God.
I know how to cry out in my brokenness.
                      That's all~~~~

But if that's all I ever know~~~I guess it's enough, because God does the rest.

Maybe it's just that simple?  Returning to that fragile, yet open state of being allows God to step in and be The Healer, The Ruler, and the Forgiver.

He heals broken hearts.  He rules over all creation. And He forgives our sorry souls.

NOTHING is too big for God's Love to overcome.  He is faithful and He is good in all things.

Listen to these songs.....beautiful
