TheStoryAndTheSong

Honesty is a word that I feel God has placed on my heart over these past 2 months and last night it was a word that continued through my mind as I was up till 4 a.m. not knowing what that word had to do with me. When I first think of the word "honesty" I think of someone just telling the truth. But when I started to talk to some friends on the internet and they started just opening up to me about how their lives were going and how they were struggling I realized that honesty is what people need to help get them away from their struggles. I was talking with a particular friend last night and she was sharing with me about her struggles. My heart went out for her and she was saying that she "was broken" and wasn't feeling "used by God" That feeling is not uncommon I don't think. I see it my own life many times and I know what it's like to feel alone, useless and broken. When my friend started being honest with me she started to realize that she didn't need to feel useless anymore, but her "light bulb" went off and was encouraged to start helping other people. I feel that honesty was all that she did and now feels better about things. I wonder if honesty and love is all some people need to get out of their "rut". I know some people need counseling and psychiatric help, but there are a lot of people who just need someone to talk to. All they need is someone to be honest to and tell their story to. I hope that I can be someone that people can talk to, someone that people can tell their story's to. I think everyone's story is important, and makes them who they are. God works in everyone differently and I love to hear how He's working in other people.
