Jon Foreman captured my night...my experience perfectly in the lyrics of Switchfoot's "Yet." http://www.songlyrics.com/switchfoot/yet-lyrics/
Our hearts are tested and strengthened by the moments that seemingly break us. We are not our tragedies, but rather how we react to them. When you are standing in the breech between bitterness and love, will you choose love? Only those with true courage can. There is no drill, no amount of practice that can prepare you for the enormity of true heartbreak, but there is a love that can lessen it. A truly selfless adoration that not only shields but absorbs the pain, with the knowledge that each loss was not in vain. Every crack and fracture will help to create the masterpiece that we are to become.
If this message seems particularly familiar to anyone reading this, with a broken heart and swollen eyes tell those who need to hear it the most "You haven't lost me yet..."
