Elastic Heart

Lord, I’m not going to ask why sometimes it’s so hard or why it hurts or why it feels so discouraging but here is my heart. It’s not in the best shape right now. It is tired, cracked, some black spots here and there, bruised, sometimes off beat, always joyful in your presence, delicate.

So here it is. I’m giving it to You. I don’t have anywhere else to put it but on Your hands. Shape it how You want.

All I ask is, have mercy on this heart, oh Lord because it is trying its best to beat right for you.

Trying,

Alodia

“The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be still.”
