Broken Heart and Spirit | Comment

The purpose for this topic is to help me with my broken heart and spirit.

I am an average person who feels like he is about to lose it sometimes. For the most part I am a good person, that just have some spiritual issues at the moment. Sometime I feel like am okay with my life, yet there are days that drag me down hard. I'm sure you know what I mean. On those bad days my heart feels really heavy and my spirit feels burdened. I know I'm a sinner and that I am being disciplined by my Holy Father but my flesh is weak. It make me sick to my stomach to plainly know I have been disobedient to my Holy Father, yet again my flesh is weak. My heart aches my spirit mourns for I know I do wrong. I want to be loyal and faithful to my Father for He is to me, even when I don't deserve it, He is true to his words. How can I understand what He is trying to do in my life?

What do I have to do so my heart doesn't bleed and my spirit doesn't cry?

Thank God who gives you His spirit to know that sin can caused someone to have heart & spirit broken: as you have known this please make your way right before your creator..for the psalmist says that if i regard sin in my heart god will not answer me,therefore go to Him in prayer.......... The book of Ecclesiastes says that there is time for everything,time to weep, mourn,laugh,etc. and the same book made us understand that vanity upon vanity all is vanity. I must be candid to you, you need not to think to the extend that you will be having broken heart & spirit.....if at all you were in one way or the other jilted or offended,please take it easy & pray it over..............remain Bless.

(Matthew 11:29-30)-Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.

This is the word the son of Yahuwah gives us.

I know how you feel, I also have many days like that. You feel sad that you sinned against Yahuwah and want to get better. What cheers me up is to think of the following verse

Luke 5:32-I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Don't stay sad because you sinned. That is why Yahushua is there for you!!! He didn't come to save the righteous but the sinners.

2 Corinthians 12:9-And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

The best thing I think to do when in a bad and sad feeling is to remember the scriptures and think about them in your head. Try memorizing some verses that will encourage you and make you happy.

This is my own point of view on the matter of HOW TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART AND SPIRIT. I would like to respond at this matter in general, I won't focus on just being a sinner, as the WORD OF GOD says we are all are. Thanks to the SON OF GOD for what HE did for all of us at the "cross"...I am a person that believes to get to the bottom of things (solving a problem) is to know the cause of the problem, but the most vital one is to acknowledge you have a "problem". In this case we have "a broken heart and spirit" and now our next action is to know why. Lets look at that broken heart, it is hurting for a reason. I have been hurt so many time and I find the remedy to a broken heart is.....TO FORGIVE..... Stop holding on to things that hurt you, let them go for good, and never look back because you do know from your own experience that it hurts. Now looking at the broken spirit, I always believed that own physical body in under our own control, but I won't dwell into that too much because now we are looking at the broken spirit. I believed that GOD gave us the spirit, so when it is broken I go back to the WORD OF GOD and find out WHY. To solve a problem we need to know why there is a problem.

TO HELL YOUR BROKEN SPIRIT READ THE BIBLE AND PRAY.

It is a pleasure to me talking to you. i have just loved your free expression of the hard situation. Letting it out is the first solution you provided to your self and asking for help is the other.

All Humanity is sinful and there is no way any man can prevent him or her self from such thoughts that lead to depression.

By faith we are God's Children and by faith we surrender all our lives to Him. Most times the devil lies to us and tells us we could probably do something to change our situations. The fact is every time we take this advise life becomes unbearable.

The fact that He accepts us as Children is enough to give us comfort that He will provide. What we need to do is to have our lives entirely surrendered to Him.

Joshua 1:13

Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land

Abstract Art And The Spirit 1

It has been a long and raging arguement that the abstract expressionists of the 50's, 60's and 70's were very busy contemplating their own navels and trying to find the "zen" in everything they did.

I would argue that they were in fact just one very important example of the hungry sleep-drugged soul seeking a way to be heard. However, many artsists of those times, and indeed today, would flatly deny anything remotely to do with spiritual things - or worse still - religious things.

Take, for instance, one of my favourites - Mark Rothko. This tragic artist committed himself to the task of producing massive canvases with many vaguely resembling the outline of a window - especially an after image once the eye has closed. His vast expanses of colour seemed to hunt out a corner or edge in a desperate attempt to complete, or conclude, the picture. Not satisfied with that he went on to give up titling his work saying that he did not want to influence the onlooker in any way. Ironically he failed ... and sadly took his own life. For me his works speak of wonderful tantilizing clues visually demonstrating the struggling spirit seeking (and succeeding!) in revealing herself - now that is real influence! Let me explain by an apparently unrelated route:

I seek to assist my own spirit in attempting to make manifest even the tiniest, most pathetic, weakest fact that the spirit in us all is not only just trying to communicate with us - but is in fact actively seeking to set the whole human balance right ... which is the spirit leading the mind and body back to her source - not the other way round - the mind and body leading the blinded soul to ... well, eventually death.

Not so long ago I came across the writings of Meister Eckhart, a fourteenth century Christian mystic. His words amazed me. He described in his many sermons what he believed to be the truth as to why we are here. He also revealed many tantilizing "images" of the spirit from the least angelic being right up to God Himself. His descriptions were ... how can I put it simply? ... abstract!

In one of his sermons he described God as ... "unknowable" ... "not able to be understood" ... "undefinable". In another he made a statement (one of many which may have contributed to him being accused of heresy!) "People say God exists ... God does not exist ... " left out of context that would be a truly blasphemous assertion. But he went on to say that "... God is far greater ... God is beyond existance". These and many other controversial sayings have impressed me so much that I have come to "see" God as an abstract entity - not, I hasten to add, an anarchic abstract form - but rather a God far more powerful, far more greater - than I can imagine ... in other words totally undefinable. Rather than this putting a distance between me and God, it has done exactly the opposite. And when Eckhart began to describe the life of Christ in an almost completely abstract way - Eckhart said that Christs life was the greatest example of the seeking and finding the uncreated source of the pure soul - my imagination began to run like a film of frenzied obscure visuals. Eckhart has become, to me, the patron saint of abstract artists.

The beauty of Eckharts enigmatic words are intensely inspiring. What better way to illustrate his poetic writings than to describe Gods "isness" in the very basic form of a gigantic flat area of one saturated colour untainted by anythingelse. Strangely enough this could be part of an exact description from one of Rothko's immense, sometimes almost monochromatic, paintings.

But this is by no means the whole story ... one of Eckhart's contradictions said that on the one hand God is totally unapproachable, yet at the same time God is actually very, very approachable ...

However, that is another article.
