This Massive World

Sometimes this world is too big.
This is when you start feeling helpless. As if no amount of the strength of the determination you can muster will suffice for the task. There is no telling when this strength will come, but you know that if it doesn’t come soon, the bottle of worries, anxieties and fears that you’ve managed to keep under a very secure lid will explode.
BOOM.
It’s that time of year again. The same thing happened as you slowly realized your weakness(es). However, this year, you thought you came fortified with the wall you’d so purposefully raised up.
Brick by brick.
But you did it all wrong. How? How is that possible? You had so much potential. But….alas…..you did it all wrong. Again. But don’t let the wall collapse now. It’s too late in the game. The words: Plow through! Plow Through! make it to the forefront of your mind.
It’s too late.
The bricks have fallen away as if blown by the wind in a manner so delicate, so warming. There could be none so great or powerful as to care for you the same way he cared for those who came before you. His loving embrace says “It’s never too late.”…and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and mind in Christ Jesus. –Philippians 4:7 (NIV).
