Heart of Stone

The week got really busy, but I wanted to throw this post together before I forgot. 

This was the verse of the day and prayer in the Bible app on Tuesday. It really hit home. 

I didn’t read it as a prayer, though, I read it as a praise. The last 2 years turned my whole life upside down. I could very easily (and most would agree, rightfully), be angry, bitter, and distrusting. But I’m not. People have asked me how: how I so easily forgave, how I so easily trust after being betrayed, how I found peace. I always respond with a shrug and apologize that I don’t know how, I just did. 

But in hindsight, this verse is how. I released it all by allowing God’s peace into my heart. I turned it all over to Him, because He can carry any burden. It’s nothing I could have done of my own volition. You can’t just turn off feelings and will yourself to heal. It has to be replaced with something good. 

Time, therapy, and God. 

I believe with every fiber of my being that this trinity can heal any heart.*
