There&#8217;s truly nothing left&#8211; nothing left to feel, no tears left to cry, just numbness &amp; a wondering of why life had to go this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>It seemed like a good relationship, a valid dream, a brilliant business move\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Maybe you question what you did to deserve so much rejection, failure, financial loss. Why all the compassion, effort, resources you poured in got you\u2026here.<br>     \u2026in a place of loneliness,<br>            unfulfilled, unvalued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>I&#8217;m sorry you&#8217;re there\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Honestly, I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s just part of the journey to where God is taking you, or if it&#8217;s a result of the manipulations of the enemy to destroy your faith &amp; life. Or\u2026both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>But one thing I know&#8211; God cares. He really does. He wants you to sit, embraced in His love &amp; presence until you can go on&#8211; soaking in His caring, His affirmation, His goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>He WILL give you the strength to move ahead. Spend time meditating on His Word, listening to His voice and letting Him remind you of who you are&#8211; sons &amp; daughters of the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Amazingly, as I was writing this, a big, beautiful orange-breasted Robin walked up to the French doors, looked in, then strutted all the way across the window with the greatest confidence you&#8217;ve ever seen. Like she knew where she was, that she had a purpose in being there and was present to fulfill it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>I think God is telling you that it may feel like the harshest winter you&#8217;re walking through right now; but, rest assured, spring is coming! A more joyful season of life IS ahead\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u26f2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve poured all that you have into someone, or into a dream, or a business\u2026 \u2026emotionally, \u2026.in effort, \u2026maybe even financially.
