TSMSS - My Heart Is Fragile...Jamie Slocum

I only just saw this song posted on FB by my friend Joy, and it immediately caught my eye as it seemed to describe me, but as 2Corinthians 4 (below) points out, what seems like 'death' to us is producing a new life that is indestructible, eternal, the life of Jesus.
Be encouraged. Read how God turned a child brothel hotel in Svay Pak, Cambodia into a church, a sanctuary.
"...It is just like God to take a brothel - a place being used to repeatedly destroy lives - and transform it into a place where little children, teens, all the way through to the elderly, now sing praises to Him! In this place, those who love Him are the hands and feet of Jesus, ministering to the sick by giving them care and medicine, teaching their children the love of Jesus, and encouraging them how to live in Christ on Sunday at church. And, it is only God who can take the ashes and ruin of these lives and form beauty, strength and dignity. This we saw in the young people who help at the church, the little ones who we played with in the school yard at Hagar, and the young ladies who served us at Bloom (cupcake/coffee shop), at Daughters and Hagar Restaurant.

It is God's brilliant irony. God having the last say. God showing He hears the cries. God's Son - the Savior - saving. The Redeemer redeeming...one heart and life at a time. And we, having been in this place, see with eyes of faith and wait in expectation, for greater things than we can think to ask for or imagine!..."
Death to life. Ashes to beauty.

2Corinthians 4: 6-9 (Amplified Bible)

⁶For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

    ⁷However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.

    ⁸We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair;

    ⁹We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed;

My Heart is Fragile (Jamie Slocum) 

The storms of life are surrounding me

They’re closing in on every side

And I’m so scared I don’t know where to run

I’m crawling to Your Door, Jesus, I need a lifeline

Don’t turn me away,

Here I am

Lord, I need You to rescue me,

This pain inside is too much for me

I’m broken and shattered

I need You more than ever

To piece me back together

To handle me with care

‘Cause You know my heart is fragile

I can’t take another sleepless night,

I’m weary from the battles of life

God, don’t be far away, I need You to find me

You’re the Only One that I can talk to

Lord, I need You to rescue me,

This pain inside is too much for me

I’m broken and shattered

I need You more than ever

To piece me back together

To handle me with care

‘Cause You know my heart is fragile

Here I am

Lord, I need You to rescue me,

This pain inside is too much for me

I’m broken and shattered

I need You more than ever

To piece me back together

To handle me with care, with care

Here I am

Lord, I need You to rescue me,

This pain inside is too much for me

I’m broken and shattered

I need more than ever

To piece me back together

To handle me with care

‘Cause You know my heart is fragile

‘Cause You know my heart is fragile
