Mike I can t comprehend what you are feeling or fully understand what God is doing in your life I can only tell you how God brought me through my darkest times When I was nine years old and spending a summer vacation at my Grandparents house we received a phone call that changed my life forever My sister had been in a motorcycle accident I spent the whole day sobbing and crying while begging God to let her live or allow me to trade places with her I loved her so very much Later that afternoon the phone rang again telling us she had passed on I was so devastated from those words that I spent the next seven years of my life in a deep dark depression I was afraid someone else in my family might suddenly be taken I was afraid of telephones and the news they could bring at any moment I was afraid of God It was the bleakest time of my life Then one day my dark tunnel finally came to an end A bright beacon at the end of a seven year period of God working on my broken heart Jesus pulled me out of the abyss He was there all along and waiting on me to realize that I could have never taken her place He had already done that long before she had died I didn t see then that God will never burden us with more than we can bare I suddenly understood I was flawed and broken and couldn t see from God s awesome perspective It just took that little boy seven years to understand that he didn t have too Jesus has it for me
