Broken Hearts to Transformed Hearts

When you hear the word "professional" what comes to your mind? I think of a person that has gone to school and has obtained the required credits to receive a plaque and then hangs it on their wall. A professional _______ (you fill in the blank).
Jesus didn't call the elite, he called the lowly to accomplish His work, right?
It is written this way in the Message
"Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don't see many of "the brightest and the best" among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families. Isn't it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these "nobodies" to expose the hollow pretensions of the "somebodies"? That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything that we have—right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start—comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. That's why we have the saying, "If you're going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God."" 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
I often wonder why God has me talking to certain women and youth when it appears their problems need a professional counselor; not me.
I expressed my concerns to a friend and his response was "you are the professional." I replied with "huh?"  Once he explained what he meant another friend, a day later, gave the verse above. 
Now it all is clear to me and I hope it is to you too.   God of Creation is about relationships right? We go and do worldly things sleep around, eat bad foods, drink to get drunk, smoke to feel better, and the list goes on and on. He, God Almighty, comes at that moment you are in the darkest pit.  He comes with His arms stretched down ready to pick you up and see if you are going to reach up to Him.  We have to walk through some serious garbage in order and get to our lowest of lows sometimes. We don't know why people treat us the way they do and hurt us along the way. We don't even know why we hurt other people sometimes, but we do.  It is at the moment we decide to make a change in our lives. We turn from the ways of the darkness of this world and towards the light of Jesus Christ. Now, He has something to work with and change now that we've surrendered.
So now we're on this road of recovery and we happen to have people in our path that can help us. I've always said,  that people need to hear your story. It's true because you are now the "professional" that they need to help them in their garbage.
I like being an ambassador for Christ. I am willing to talk to anyone about Jesus that will listen to me, but most importantly will listen to Jesus through me.
In my mind's eye I can hear a crying heart of a child, a youth, a woman, and a man. In my heart, I know there are people, like me, desiring a change to be made. Some of them have no control over their environment and others have a lot of control, they are just not willing and ready to make the change. For some of these people they don't even know there is a change possible for them.
I had a friend ask me "why are you being nice to me." Isn't that a loaded question? I didn't have to think to hard or long over my answer because I knew why. The problem I had was saying the right words for her to understand why. You see God is love. Jesus lives in me and forgives all sins when we ask. God is the God of Restoration and he has and is restoring me. If God can forgive me and restore me shouldn't I love others too? Shouldn't I be an example to others? Therefore, if God is love and He loves me than I have love and can show love. I know I was called by God to help this young lady,  but what I have found is that I see me in her. Ironic isn't it? God calls me to help out someone else that reminds me of me?
I lead by my example; my own experience that God has seen me through time and time again. He still loves me, He died for me and restored me to sanity.
Some people see God as they do their earthly Fathers. People today believe that God doesn't care about them, will leave them, wants to hurt them, and has no time for them. My dear friend, that is a lie from the pit of hell. Satan and his demons wants you to be separated from the love of God. He wants you to believe those things so that He can keep you in torment.  Oh precious one, God's word tells us that He cares about our every thought, word, emotion, problems, and situations. God does not hurt you He loves you and He is there for you 24/7. In the middle of the night, you may not be able to call your best friend Doris, but you can call on Jesus. He's waiting to hear from you. All you have to do is start the conversation. By the way, He already knows your name because He gave you your name. Just talk to Him about your hurt, habit, or even a hang up you have. Talk to Him about what you are mad about. He will listen and He will answer you. Sometimes His answers come in an instant and other times it is gradual. One thing is TRUE though; He's an on time God.
You can even write a letter to Him; he reads too.
Need some help talking or praying? I'll help you....
God I am hurting because __________________.
God I am angry because ___________________.
God I've read and hear that you love me, I need you to show me that love.
Start pouring your heart out to Him; He'll listen and He will answer.
"If you love me you will hear me. The reason you do not hear me is because you are not of God."
This means that if you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your heart, you will not hear from God. No one comes to the Father accept through His Son, Jesus.  Ask Jesus into your heart today, right now.
He will lead and guide you into all truth.  He promises this and cannot lie.
