“From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”

We all get overwhelmed at times. Life is big, stuff happens, our hearts get full. To build muscle, you need to lift weights. When lifting weights, your muscles get tiny little tears. They fuse back together and heal stronger than they were before. Our heart is the same. We need to live lives that feel, that have experiences, to know pure joy and deep heartache. Maturity comes in facing the entirety of life, not in hiding away your heart so it never feels. Our hearts need to be stretched, to lift weight… You are stronger than you know. The goal isn't to ensure you never get overwhelmed… Don't live overprotective of your heart and shut yourself down – the goal is to look to Jesus in all things. When life gets too full, bring it to the God whose capacity to carry our lives has no limit. Live in the height of his strength, wisdom and ways… Not in the shallows of humanity or hidden away. When your heart gets overwhelmed bring it to Jesus who is strong, good, full of hope, whose ways are higher than ours, whose wisdom is not of this world… the one who has the capacity to lift us from the mirey clay and set our feet on solid rock no matter what it is we have done or are facing. Love you guys…
