Morning with Ebenezer

HEAVY HEART

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

Proverbs 12:25 KJV

Have you ever met a person with a heavy heart? The whole outside appearance reflect what is on the inside. Many of us have experienced heaviness in our hearts in one way or another. This heaviness can be caused by various reasons such as sad news, being disappointed, spiritual oppression, grief or even physical pain.

There are some of us who are experiencing heaviness in our hearts because we have been disappointed by our own actions. We wanted to be like so and so and but every time when we tried; we fall short to be like them and this was a big disappointment. We did not know that they had their own purposes in life and God assigned other purposes for us.

God never intended you to be like so and so; but when you were created He wanted you to be a new creation of its kind among other creations. He had a unique purpose for your life and a peculiar assignment that’s why you were born in different family and environments. You fought to copy someone who you admired and you forgot that God did not create copies; but He made originals and He wanted you to be His original and not copy of someone else.

This morning, God wants you to give you a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. God will give you a new song on your lips, He will cause you to praise Him before your discouragements and get rid the heaviness in you. Present yourself before the Lord and pour your heart and let Him heals and binds its wounds.

God is the only one who you can truly trust with the matters of your heart. People may come and seem to care but they cannot understand the way God understands you. He has a good plan for your life, He knows the thoughts that He thinks toward, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you, to give you a future and a hope, Jeremiah 29:11. Be encouraged because you will never be alone, the Lord will always be there for you.
