☀aching heart

sometimes, I feel like this...

At times there is something nagging at my heartstrings, it feels like an ache that doesn't really go away. I want to cry, I want to ball, but I don't... well okay sometimes I do. I think many people have good desires that their heart aches for, for me it has been the struggle with having children. I confess I feel guilty for mentioning it to other people, I must sound like a broken record and even ungrateful (I have two beauties already). Almost as if subconsciously I think that if I tell others, my Heavenly Father will know that I am  ready for another baby or even two... like right now.

I'm sure Heavenly Father is perfectly aware of my situation as well as he is aware of each of our individual circumstances. I know He loves me and all of His children. I have learned not to judge. As I, at times walk with an aching heart, I'm sure others do as well for various reasons. You just never know. 

"...for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." Usually by default I focus on the first part of this verse, but I am drawn to the fact that the Lord looks on the heart and sees what no one can see and can comfort as no one else can. I am grateful for that comfort and pray for those in need of comfort. So if you walk with an aching heart, know that you are loved by a Heavenly Father who "looketh on the heart" and can comfort and love YOU perfectly. For this knowledge I am truly blessed.

{1 Samuel 16:7}
