When it breaks.

I'm gonna try to define what heartbreak is like for you.

It's that moment when you decide that you trust someone enough to give a piece of your heart to.

It's when you open the gates a bit, lower the bridge for a while, let the guards down for a little, so that they can squeeze in and find themselves in that space you've created for them. If they behave well, you might just give them a stool to sit on. Or maybe a comfy couch. With some wi-fi near by. It depends.

It's when you decide that you're gonna be vulnerable enough, granting them a certain permission to affect you, lending them a pen to write on your book, trusting them with a piece of yourself.

Heartbreak.
Is when that piece breaks.

Sure, there are a few who would intentionally do it.

But there are also some well meaning humans who would just unintentionally mistreat your piece, simply because they're humans.

It might be too rough for their comfort. 

It might be too high maintenance for their liking. 

It might be too frail. 

Or, it might simply slip off their hands and shatters.

I guess we can't escape it.

The ideal situation is after we give our hearts to Jesus, they are kept in a high security glass box. No interaction. No one inside. No access. Safe.

But apparently God puts us here, with 6 billion others, where friction is unavoidable, and a few fractures here and there are simply expected.

The only difference is that He's got us covered in the case the unfortunate happens. It's like an ultimate insurance.

If your heart is broken, you’ll find GOD right there; if you’re kicked in the gut, he’ll help you catch your breath. - Psalm 34:18 MSG

So in the unlikely event where your heart breaks, He gives you the ultimate remedy:

Himself.

He whose commands calmed the storms. 

He who walks on raging waters. 

He whose touch cleansed the lepers. 

He whose smile draws kids nearby. 

He whose words brought the dead back to life.

He whose love for you nailed Him to the cross.

If your heart is broken, you'll find THIS kind of God, waiting there.

And truthfully, who else would you rather find? Your heart is in good hands now :)

Mine is too.

So good night peeps. Good night!
