the bleeding heart.

as humans, i believe we naturally pretend we have it all together.  we are constantly trying to prove our security to others and ... falsely to ourselves. truth is, we aren't secure. we don't have it all together. 

the truth is, we are hurting. we are wounded. we are broken. 

as christians we are taught to help carry each others burdens. sadly, often times this does not happen. fear takes hold and we feel alone in our trials. speaking for myself, i imagine most people think i have it together for the most part. but, honestly, most the time i want to cry out and say "i am NOT ok". because, i am not. i am hurting. i am wounded. i need a friend. i need healing. 

Jesus carries our burdens. and we, as christians, are supposed to be Christlike. and we SHOULD help carry our brothers and sisters burdens. we should be able to open up, pour out our hearts. and together find healing and freedom. 

just some random thoughts from a hurting heart...
