Being a caring and compassionate person has a down side. Certain things may bother me that others might not even concern someone else. My personality makes Monday’s a difficult day for me. Sundays are busy and a day to interact with a large group of people. This is wonderful in many ways. I am able to catch up on many people’s lives and seeing where God is truly working in lives. But not all is so much of a blessing. I also see and hear about some who are suffering. There are physical illnesses that touch lives and even more are bearing emotional crosses that are quite heavy. So, Mondays are a day for processing all that I took in on Sunday.
I sit in my office and look at my prayer list. I rejoice in being able to take some names off of it and writing how God has answered the prayers. I then add the names of those who I notice are suffering in a variety of ways. My heart aches as I think of those whose lives are less than ideal. Some have even drifted away from their first love -God. I know I cannot solve another’s problems but I do feel their pain and am aware that only God can bring lasting and meaningful healing.
As I started to write this blog I was feeling a bit down at all who are going through their valley of the shadow of death but suddenly I realize that I am only human and God is God. May God life all our hearts to His goodness.
