Falling to Pieces

Their are those times in life when the road gets rough and bumpy. From your first heart break to the death of someone close to you. God tends to throw a lot of obstacles at us that always seem to hit us right where it hurts the most. Those obstacles can take from us and give to us. They take what we hold dearest away so we'll have nothing to break our fall. They give to us as much heart ache as you could ever receive. God throws these obstacles in our way to see what we'll do. He wants to know if we'll break down and give up all hope or fight till our last deep breath for the hope we're clinging to. Hope that everything is gonna turn out all right. Maybe if we're tough enough to make it through this sea of pain the water won't taste so bitter. He'll tear and rip out all the things you brace yourself with until it seems that everything is falling to pieces and then just watch. Waiting for you to give up or get up. So when the rest of the world seems like it's crashing down around you, will you fall with it? That is a question nobody every really thinks of at the time when they hurt the most. But now that you've read this you might keep it in mind next time your world is falling to pieces. God doesn't want to see us fail, he just likes to watch us overcome the pain we feel in our chest. So don't fall with the pieces of your broken heart. Pick them up and put it back together and get ready for the next go round. Anybody can find that place in their soul that says don't stop hoping. And if you haven't found it yet, trust me, you'll find it Along the Way...
