Staring at the ground, you ask yourself how you can go on. Your world is crashing down around you, and all you are left holding are the pieces of your broken dreams.
He comes over and sits down beside you. He grasps your hand, and you hold on tight. You sit that way, side by side, as the moments tick by. Eventually, you look at Him, your pain-filled eyes filled with questions. He looks straight into your eyes and says, "You are not alone. It's going to be ok."
The tears flow freely now as His simple words resonate with a place deep in your soul. In this place of brokenness, hope is born. Healing begins.
He tips up your chin till your eyes meet His and speaks again. "This is not the end. The story doesn't end this way."
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” -John 16:33
