but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 NIV Breaking Open, Not Breaking Down We will all face breaking points, and many times we will splinter and crack. We all know betrayal, broken hearts and broken relationships intimately. With Jesus, these are the opportunities not to fall and stay down but to fall and rise differently. To rise with power, with hope, with purpose. We get to rise, open to a new way of living! To do that, though, we can’t avoid the breaking. We can’t stuff it down deep under a coping mechanism. We can’t outrun it by moving fast enough. We can’t numb it with another show, another online prostitute, another prescriptionor illicit drug, another drink, anothercsmoke, or another cynical comment. We can’t avoid it by manufacturing drama to gain others’ attention. Nope. There is only one way to thrive in life, and that is not by shutting down; it’s by remaining open. We all have breaking points, breaking moments. Would you choose to break open? To let go? Try opening your hands up right now. As you physically open your hands, think about the things you need to let go of in your heart. Breathe out what you need to let go of to keep going. Breathe in the resolve to keep moving. To choose hope. To let go is to choose hope. To keep going when your body and mind say that you can’t go on is to choose hope. To choose hope is the opposite of losing hope. And we all lose hope sometimes. For now, let’s just believe together that there is hope. We can let go, we can keep going, because we have reason to hope. Believe that God has a full, good life coming for you. Let hope fill you deep in your being.
