Tired of Goodbyes I am tired of saying goodbye.
I am learning to be grateful for the time we do have together, be it short and unpredictable and but a vapor.
I am taking the risk of keeping my heart wide open and loving deeply and fully. The risk of getting hurt or saying goodbye too soon is nowhere near as frightful as the pain of having realized that you didn’t love and savor nearly as much as you could have. When I do get hurt, I simply run to the Healer and Comforter of our souls, and somehow, in His grace, I am restored. If my sleeve could wear this heart, the world would see and not doubt that Jesus is alive and true and reigning, and that I am a walking miracle.
I am ever grateful for the abundance of authentic and loving relationships I have been given, and for the promise of many more to come. I am looking forward to a future full of hello’s, and the hope that all the goodbyes are just a promise of “see you later”.
And now, Faith, Hope, and Love abide.
and the greatest… the greatest of these is Love.
Love. Covering a multitude of sins,
Love. The truth, setting free,
Love. Casting out all fear,
Love. Always hoping,
Love. Always patient,
Love. Enduring forever.
