When God really means business with you he takes you in his arms and he whispers to you and he says something like this:
"It's time for you to come Home to me now my love, so for the next whatever-it-takes you're not going to be getting much of what you want in this world. And you're going to struggle and squirm and whimper and burn. And your beautiful heart will break over and over again. And finally, my beloved child, you will get sense and you will lean back into me and realize this love is all that was ever wanted. And you and I will rejoice together as if there is no tomorrow".
Of course, the big problem is that you don't hear God's whispers and you don't know he's holding you ever so close all the time.
So very true...
I just came across this little poem I wrote a few weeks ago, that speaks to this...
"You've broken me
Into a thousand tiny pieces
Each one clanking down
to lie upon the earth.
Scattered about like tiny diamonds,
Broken and shattered,
Til there is nothing left, but You."

Beautiful, Nicole. What truth comes through us when we are being broken apart. Much love my sweet.
