Real Devo: Pour Out Your Heart by RTF Staff Writer, Jade West

Pour Out Your Heart
by Jade West

“…ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us.” ~ Psalms 62:8

Verses like this one that I found tonight make me think that the Bible was written just for me. A beautiful letter composed by the King of Kings just for me.Remember when I posted on honoring God on this journey a couple of weeks ago? Somehow, I thought that honoring God meant bearing this huge burden alone. You know “toughing it out”…
Yet He met me tonight to show me that it’s OK to be weak. It’s OK to feel sad about this move.

Pour out your heart before Him.

I read these words and found myself relieved. Standing in His presence, I handed over the burdens that weren’t supposed to be mine…and felt better than I had in weeks. I STILL want to honor Him on this journey but I’ve realized there’s a fine line between honoring God and trying to be God.

Real Quote: Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor.” –H. Jackson
