When life "hurts.....
                How do I respond when.....

....I find out my friend/mentor has cancer...

....A friend was so excited about the new life she was caring in her womb....then "devastating" news....no heartbeat anymore...

....A cousin who died "to young" when she leaves behind a husband and two young sons who need there mother...

....An Uncle never wakes up from his sleep...went to meet Jesus "while he was sleeping"

....A young son dies in a car accident...

....Another son drowns...

....You see an open door and you go to walk through it and God closes it...

....A dad dies and leaves behind a wife and 6 young children...

....A friend/young mother with a young family is struggling with Lyme's...

....You pray and pray and it feels like your prayers are not being answered...

God does care about our "hurts"........
He is carrying each of our "cup of pain".....When we have no strength left He will carry us through....

Here is a verse that really blessed me the other morning when I felt very weak and I could not go on.....

Heb. 12:12,13

So take a new grip with your tired hands and stand firm on your shaky legs. Mark out a straight path for your feet. Then those who follow you, though they are weak and lame, will not stumble and fall but will become strong !!!!

Yes my Father does care when life hurts....he wants us to TAKE HEART !!!!!

The worst moment of our lives is the most POWERFUL message we will ever deliver if we respond well......
