Words were said in haste. I feel like a child who doesn't understand. A little piece of my heart breaks off over nothing. Why? Why are there days that I feel so vulnerable. Every word said, the tone used or even the time spent in conversation all affect the "mood" I end the day on.
It is moments like this that I have to shield my heart in the knowledge that even those I love the most are just human, going through their day to day life, struggling like me to meet the needs of everyone around them to. How many times have I regretted my own tone of voice or the words that escaped my lips before I could hold them back? Today was a domino affect. Something was said to me, I in turn took it out on my child, etc... These are the days we have to shield our hearts in the knowledge of the unfailing love of the Heavenly Father. Every one else is not perfect and will fail us every once in a while.
My comfort comes from Him and Him alone. And the person who hurt my heart? I know he loves me too. He just had a human moment.
Lord, protect my heart on the "off" days. Let my mood be one of hope and praise, even when words and actions temporarily hurt.
