*A Crown Bestowed*

"...to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. " Isaiah 61:3 My name is Liz. I'm 25. I want my life to reflect Christ.

People scare me. They change their minds so quick. One moment it’s “I love you” and “you make me happy” and the next it’s “I’m not sure anymore” and “this isn’t what I want.”

Pieces

“What will you have to give to your husband when your heart has been broken over and over again?” he asked. I assume he expected me to say pieces because what else could you give out of brokenness? But that wasn’t my answer. The truth is I broken before anyone else ever got involved. But I was used to that brokenness. I embraced that brokenness because that’s who I believed myself to be. But being broken by others was like a catalyst. Suddenly brokenness wasn’t comfortable anymore. I had to recognize I was shattered before I could ever be restored. So I ran to God with the shattered pieces and pleaded “fix me! ” and that He did. He mended what had been broken, all the pieces. He put them together like only He could. In better condition than I had been before I loved and lost. So to answer your question sir, I’ll give him a complete heart, one that has been restored by the Redeemer. I will give him a healed heart, with only scars to show for the past mistakes. I will give him a wise heart, one that has learned from the Teacher. I will not give him pieces and expect him to complete me like so many humans do. No sir, I have a whole heart, that once had something missing, but that found completion comes from the Maker. So my husband will have a beautiful heart that will strive to love him in the same manner that Jesus loves me.

In God's eyes we aren't all the same and all equal. In His eyes of LOVE we are all unique. We have no rival and no equal.

Idk about you but I'm a go-getter. And sometimes I go and get too many things at once and find myself performing all sorts of balancing acts. It's so tiring that I get to the point where I just want to give up and drop it all. and then the All-powerful God speaks. His son left this earth so that we could have a helper. This is the same helper that gives us strength to keep going . It's by this Spirit that people have performed miracles. He's the one who has allows the impossible to become possible.
