The Broken Road

I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
That every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Broken Road-Rascal Flatts

More than anything our brokenness draws us to God's heart. “God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.” Psalm 46:1 The Message.

How many times, how many trials, and tribulations that we find we are on our knees crying out to God to meet us there. 

He answers our prayers often on the broken road with a word, a song; a memory that comes to us as if God were speaking to us- ready to lift us up out of our pit. Psalm 40:2

For God doesn’t just leave us on the broken road-He blesses us when our hearts rise up to meet his.   

There is an old Irish Blessing that states:

May the road rise to meet you,
may the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May God hold you in the palm of His hand and bless you-for brokenness can be a gift when it points you to God.

This much I know is true.  That God blessed the broken road that pointed Him to you..
