MESS. We are a mess. No, not just you and me. People in general. We need each other but then we hurt each other. Sometimes its intentional and sometimes it’s passive, but the effect is the same. We’re too scared to fully care about those that we love. Too terrified to get close, but more afraid of being lonely. Our thoughts are skewed and we act selfishly and the result is this messy jumbled web of hurt and caring which is altogether confusing, because we love so imperfectly. GOOD. Do good things exist? I’ve had several debates with friends, co-workers, and classmates lately about this. Good intentions have to exist for love to be real. If you love someone, you want good things for them. Love cannot be self seeking. People are, by definition, self seeking. LOVE. Perfect love, from which all good things stem, is only found in Love himself, my God. We CAN love, if it’s rooted in him. We can bring hope, the ceasing of hurt, and other good things into the world if he is our source.
I will continue to love, imperfectly at times. I will continue to learn about true love from my Lord.
