| sweetly broken.i didn't know what it meant to be sweetly broken.
how can anything be sweetly broken?
isn't the whole idea of being broken in itself bitter and painful?
its almost like saying salt is sweet. how can it be ?
I realized his grace felt heavy because i was broken.
but god is gracious and merciful.
i am not just broken.
i am sweetly broken.
and i am wholly surrendered to him.
i realized if he wants to spend time with you and get to know you
he will take away your friends, family, loved ones, and whatever else that is holding you back.
god literally stripped away everything i dearly held on to till there was nothing left but him.
he saved my life once again.
no other gods, no other love
no other gods before you.

| your grace is heavy.god how can you possibly love a sinner like me?
don't you understand that i am a sinner ?
how many times have i turned my back on you ?
don't you ever regret dying for a sinner like me ?
your grace is becoming too heavy for me to bear.
because i know deep inside i don't deserve any of it.....i don't deserve even the tiniest bit of it.

| Silence.i've been reading psalm a lot lately and i noticed how
the word "silence" comes up a lot in the context of asking god not to be silent.
not to be still.
i don't understand.
because god can shake the earth with his silence because he is god right?
then...
Imagine what he can do when he whispers.
Imagine what he can do when he speaks in his normal voice.
Better yet, imagine what he can do when he shouts.
so many times we ask god to speak to us.....
but think about what you are actually asking god to do.
you are asking god to actually SPEAK to you.
wow.
he will literally break you into many pieces.
i think before we even dare to ask god to speak to us,
we have to first recognize his silence and the power behind his silence.
i am not discouraged because i don't hear god's voice.
i am perfectly satisfied with his silence because i know and recognize
the power behind his silence.
i embrace his silence.
