Some of the most crushing pain doesn’t come from an enemy but from the very people we know and love so much. God brought this passage to my mind earlier in the week and I have meditated over it many times over the days that followed. I felt David’s words deep in my soul and completely related to him in this passage. The pain I’ve felt is crushing, at times I felt as if my heart was shattering into a million pieces that could never be repaired. God gently lifted me up and said you can’t repair it but I can. I can restore all that the enemy has stolen. But sister, you might say, I thought it was someone close to you. It was, but it was someone the enemy used to try to break me. He put in a good effort but God held me up and sustained me. He can do the same for you. Give Him your broken pieces and He’ll mend your heart and give you a testimony to share with the world. 🦅 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal
“12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.” ~ Psalm 55-12-13
