Praise God for people who step with us, not on us

A woman will endure many wounds in her lifetime, but the betrayal of a friend is one of the most difficult to overcome.

In Job, it says, "Man is born for trouble, as sparks fly upward" (Job 5:7). We women have seen sparks fly upward, around, and upside down. We've seen the spark of love that ignites the beating of a heart and the spark of pain that stops it. We know the trouble we've had with man, and man with us.

There are roadblocks to hurdle, challenges to conquer, and painful emotions to sort through. But God, in His tenderness, waits for us. He tries to settle our hearts and when we are ready, He steps with us.

God is the burden crusher and the freedom fighter. He has the power to change lives.

When fathers struggle with being authentic, they leave muddy footprints on little girls' hearts.
