Psalm 38:9
All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; and
my sighing is not hidden from you.
I just love that God chose to let us know that not even our sighing is hidden from Him.
Have you ever been in a season of life where deep sighs seem to carry you from moment to moment?? I sure have.
Grief brings deep sighing.
Stress is often accompanied by deep sighing.
Regret leads to deep sighing.
The burden of huge decisions can also cause deep sighing.
Thankfully, God hears all of these sighs.
In our moments of deepest pain where we often feel all alone and overwhelmed, we have a God who sits with us…….listening to our heavy sighs.
And I just have to believe that as we breathe in deeply, He somehow slips in with our breath and tries to fill us up with Him. As we long for life to change, I believe that God is leading us to long for Him.
So, if you find yourself this morning feeling out of sorts in any way and if these feelings are bringing you sighs of any kind, remember God is sitting with you and He longs to be your Answer to your questions, your comfort in your sorrow, your hope in your despair, your everything in your nothingness, your strength in your weakness, your joy in your sadness…….
Breathe in deeply and sigh…….
God hears you and He understands.
Even Jesus sighed and God listened.
Mark 7:31-35
Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through
Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the
region of the Decapolis. There some people
brought to him a man who was deaf and could
hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand
on the man.
After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus
put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit
and touched the man’s tongue. He looked up to
heaven and with a deep sigh said to him,
“Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!” ).
At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was
loosened and he began to speak plainly.
Thankful for a Savior who truly walked the same earthly road as us…….a road that brought Him to the point of sighing,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
