Good morning and happy Wednesday. I've been busy working in my back yard trying to repair all the damage done to it by a not intentional dog who had a thing about digging. Over the course of time I just got to a point I had to let it go and contend with the fact I'd have to fix the whole thing one day. Well this week is the day. So it's rip up,dig up, shred up, and level up and repair and restore it to what it should be. It will probably be better than it was when it was first put in, only because it's cared about by the person redoing it. What dogs have dug up your life ? How bad is the grass in need of repair and tending to in your life ? Most of the damage has been caused by ourselves but there other things and people who can effect it as well. If we allow God to do the work in us the way we should, He will restore us to much better than we could've ever imagined. But the process isn't easy either. That's why many will start down the road but won't finish. It's too hard to have our lives ripped up, tore up, shredded up and dug up. But the Father, oh the Father can repair us and mend us if we just allow it to happen. Casting Crowns sings an awesome song called "Just Be Held". There's a line that says, yours life's not falling apart, it's falling into place. For that to happen we have to be willing to submit to His ways and not our own. To give up the control we so desperately seek and just be held. It's a difficult road to walk but you're never walking alone. The God of the universe; creator of all things, stands beside you and when needed to, in front of you. And when necessary, will hold you the entire way. So please allow yourself to be held by the Father. Allow the grass of your life to repaired and fixed and mowed by the One who made it in the first place. In love always. <><
