Bring Me To Life

To those wondering. I do not have a broken heart buy my friend has. She just broke up with a three year boyfriend and right now I think it's not just her heart, it's her soul, it's her being, it's her. I feel for her because I trudged the same path she is trekking now.

The prayer meeting I attended last night was something I really want to remember. Not just for myself but for my friend as well. I was silently praying that I may remember the important parts.

Do you remember the time when Jesus brought Lazarus to life?

Martha and her sister sent message to Jesus when Lazarus has fallen ill. They wanted Jesus to come and heal him. But Jesus waited for two days. He waited for two days and because of this, Lazarus died. When Jesus finally came, she told Jesus, "He would have lived if you just came. You loved Lazarus". Jesus, went to Lazarus' tomb and brought him to life.

Jesus loved Martha and Mary and Lazarus yet he let Lazarus die.

There are times in our lives when we ask Jesus to heal us, from past hurts, broken relationships, lousy job among many others.

Sometimes he waits for two days, sometimes the answer seems to never come.

But we should remember that when Jesus finally came, he did not simply heal... No. He did so much more than Martha and her sister asked him to, he brought him to life.

When we lift up to Him our prayers and answers do not seem to come. It's because He is waiting for the perfect time. He has perfect timing. He is our Father. He loves us and will never wish us ill. He wants what is best for us and He knows what is best for us. When we were kids we did not always understand our parents and their rules but nonetheless we followed because we trusted in their love and in their heart. Let us do the same with the Lord. Let us trust in His heart even at times when it is so difficult.

This song says it all...

Trust in His Heart

All things work for our good
Though sometimes we can't see how they could.
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth.
Our Father knows what's best for us;
His ways are not our own.
So, when your pathway grows dim,
And you just can't see Him,
Remember He's still on the throne.
God is too wise to be mistaken.
God is too good to be unkind.
So when you don't understand,
when you don't see His plan,
When you can't trace His hand, trust His heart.
He sees the Master plan.
He holds the future in His hands.
So don't live as those who have no hope.
All our hope is found in Him.
We walk in present knowledge,
But He sees the first and the last.
And like a tapestry, He's weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him.
God is too wise to be mistaken.
God is too good to be unkind.
So when you don't understand,
When you don't see His plan,
When you can't trace His hand, trust His heart.
