This verse is interesting...when I looked it up in different translations some of the words were slightly different. "...it remains by itself.", says it remains alone.
This speaks volumes to my life. So much of the time I am trying to avoid hurt and pain or anything that makes me feel broken and alone. Yet, in doing so I unknowingly put myself in the position to be alone. Alone doesn't feel good. When you are in a room full of family and friends and you somehow feel alone.
Maybe looking back and seeing my attitude; perhaps my sad attempts at saving my own life. I forget that the miracle of the loaves and fish occurred after the breaking.
Do we like to be broken and vulnerable?
Life has been wild for me lately. My oldest taking part-time classes at a local private school and my other four at home. Top that off with getting used to a new normal in a new home and neighborhood. Life is still moving but i am sort of just going with it. I used to be so on top of things but it seems that I have made it easy for me to feel alone. Letting go is hard. Even when it is so evident that it must happen and there is no other way to turn. Though it is not stated in this verse; it seems as if God says do this so I can give you life. A life that is unimaginable to your human heart. A life that is abundant with ME. Because after all, that is what we are looking for..... Him. I want to know Him. His word says in another place that He is near to the broken hearted.
