Longing in the Breaking

The pieces of the heart, which hold together the ends of hope, bind together in a lasting effort to control the breaking of its whole. As it is cut and torn and taken through the beatings it must endure, we find within us a strength and valor which only the King can bestow. Misunderstanding and tiresome nights with dreams that only fade we wait and hope and cry and beg for this storm to be soon erased. We will never understand why our Lord allows us this pain, but we do know that in the end it is selflessness we will gain. Oh our God and Father, whose name is as sweet as wine that burst upon our palate and whose taste is so divine, please mend our hearts and let us see your face, our longing is much deeper than before we entered this place.
