repetition

Everytime God's trying to teach me something big or get my attention about something, it always comes in repetition. Does that make sense? Like when I was struggling finding peace. John 14:27 literally came up in every sermon for like 3 weeks and then came up at random other times. Repetition. And when I was struggling to open up to people, if a dear friend from Colorado loving on me wasn't enough, He decided that our Sunday morning AND wednesday night studies would be based off community and such! Repetition. And then this...3 months ago a dear friend of mine told me how bad she was once hurt by someone and it broke my heart. I witnessed her struggle through that and in the end forgive the guy who in my life, I've still yet to forgive. Now, just this week, another dear friend of mine went through the same thing but on a much more intense and hurtful level to the point where she is now heavily medicated because of it. I'm now witnessing her struggle through this. And I wish that I could just tell her what to do and that would make it all better, but it doesn't work that way! Just now, i've come to the realization of just how deep this pain goes. It hurts. It scares. It scars. It ruins. But JESUS SAVES! That's all that comes to mind when i have terrible nightmares about it or when it seems to cross my mind every single day. JESUS SAVES!
