Today my head is swimming with the knowledge of people I love making bad choices. They flee from wisdom, they spurn hearing truth and they blame everyone else for what they created. How do you wrestle with caring vs totally writing them off? How do you show love with out enabling or rescuing them as they seemingly drown in their messes? My head still swims with thoughts, desires, hopes or maybe even plans on how to rescue those who do not want to be rescued but desperately need it? Everything human with in me says I should be able to work these things out. I should, I could, maybe I can, are in part of my emotional 'fix it' kit. But I can't! The brokenness is too great, too deep for any human to repair.
These questions and issues are so above my pay grade. They fall into the realm of the supernatural where God alone is the source to which I must run and the source to which those I love must run as well.
Today, as I desperately seek answers and I long for peace and rest for my spirit that is vexed, I have one option. Prayer. I must run with full abandonment to the only one who can fix any of us. The Lord Jesus Christ. Those who try to fix life apart from Him, keep falling back into traps that pull them deeper into their traps. Oh, that soon those I love will learn and get help from the one who fixes our brokenness.
