I'm being broken again... It's been a while since I let God take hold of my heart completely... and I've been yearning for it for a while. See, my friend's little boy, Uriah Nevins, was diagnosed with leukemia last week. In it, I've seen both of his parents posting daily on facebook or the online journal they set up for him, about God's mercy, God's presence, His unfailing love. Full-on trust in Jesus.
This makes me ache. Ache because I know that I have been so far-off, and that it's horrible but miraculous that a tragedy like this kid's illness could wake me up from my slumber and set me back in the Father's arms.
There isn't much else to say here. I am a little stunned, still feel like I'm wandering a little bit drunk after hearing the news of Uriah's illness and his family's unshakeable trust in the God who cares, who came, who lived, who died, who rose again so that we may live.
And how to go about living when you've experienced this kind of grace. So what's my next step?
