Kabul 8-26-21

 

Broken world. Broken lives. Broken hearts.

Nowhere seems untouched by violence and darkness.

What to feel.  AngerSadnessGriefHelplessnessHopelessness.

An overwhelming inner tornado of pain and loss.

An onslaught of want to have tears wash it all away. 

Understanding is out of reach. Patience is used up.

Victims crying out for rescue. Heroes being slaughtered.

But underneath and deep within there is a knowing.

Faith dictates justice and restoration.

God is not dead. God is not silent. God does not turn away.

Trust is hard when senses are on razor’s edge and hearts are torn apart.

He is a God of the broken-hearted. He is the restorer of all things. 

Surrender to the knowing, the faith, the trust.

“I am making all things new.”
