Scared, oh I thought I knew scared
Now I’m so filled with fear
I can barely move
Doubts, I’ve had my share of doubts
But never more than right now
I’m wondering where are You
I’m on the edge of fall apart
But somehow Your promises
Find my troubled heart
This is the truth I’m standing on
Even when all my strength is gone
You are faithful forever
And I know You’ll never
Let me fall
Right now I’m choosing to believe
Someday soon I’ll look back and see
All the pain had a purpose
Your plan was perfect all along
This is the truth I’m standing on
Nothing encompasses the last 8 months of my life like this song. The other day I was driving in my car and the end of this song came on. Of course by the time I got home I forgot the lyrics that I heard. But I googled and googled and finally found it! I immediately felt like it was a gift from God because He knew it was exactly what I needed. I sat down on my bed and began to pray and pressed play. I burst into tears instantly.
Overwhelmed with emotions. This song is me. It is my life for the last 8 months. After my breakup I thought I’d never be the same. Yet God is continually making me better healing me more and more every day. I realized listening to this song that the journey isn’t about getting what you want. One day we’ll see every heartbreak served a purpose. His plan is perfect and every struggle and mistake was leading me back to Him. Even now I am so grateful for every trial. God is continually opening my eyes more and more to the purpose in my pain. Looking back He will always show you the “why?” Looking back you will see the purpose and preparation God was working in you. God has plans bigger than ours. We just need to trust Him.
Even if the journey takes a detour through pain. In those moments they draw us closer to God. When I went through my breakup I thought I lost myself. My identity was so attached to someone who just walked away. I didn’t realize at the time the gift God gave me. Calling me to come back to Him. I didn’t lose myself. God helped me find my way back to who I am. You see the journey isn’t about everything going perfectly the way we plan. It’s through the twists and turns – the trials where we truly find ourselves.
You may think you lost the one thing that made you “you.” But turn to God and I guarantee He’ll remind you who you truly are. There’s purpose in our pain. God will always keep His word and do what He has promised.
Remember You are Fearfully Made ❤
