Do you ever realize that we never stop changing? I am thrown into situations that force me to act like a 25 year old sometimes when all I want to do is act like a four year old and run around in the yard with my nephew. I have to pay attention to the way I am acting and see what I look like from other people’s eyes. I have to love, sometimes, selflessly not selfishly. Check my heart and make sure it is true. Do things with honesty regardless of how I want to feel because regardless of who I want to be I am who I am right now, in this place that I am found. This place that requires more strength and maturity than I sometimes actually have. This place is exactly where faith and Jesus and redemption seems to be found.
love, forever.
I’m laughing because although I will always be on the verge of completely understanding the Lord’s redemption story, I think I’m drawing closer to His cloak every time this happens. What Jesus did was the greatest act of love, ever. He WAS here. He wanted to know us. Now, we, who are here in this place now, don’t get to physically see Him. And I’m sure if He could have He would have been here with us now, but that wouldn’t have fit into the entire story, it just wouldn’t have fit. So, He still wants to love us and he wants to hold us and heal us unfortunately He can’t do it by looking into our eyes, He has to do it with the Holy Spirit. So it’s harder for us. Faith is hard. But maybe it’s special this way. Maybe not seeing Him is easier because we have nothing to compare Him to. He is in the wind. He is in the clouds. He is the horizon and the sunset and storms and mountains and we can see Him in the eyes of children. He is there when we are looking for him, he is there.
I’ve been learning a lot about love lately for some reason. Not really sure why. I guess I see it in my family a lot. Also, I really like the Avett Brothers.
