Love Gives Up
Lying here in bed (don't shout at me! :P) thinking. And therefore blogging.
Been having a few thinky days actually. Particularly in respect to one struggling friendship where I lean pretty heavily (and unfairly) on the other person. I've tried to back away before, to no avail. So I'm trying again.
I don't know how it'll go. I'll be praying and trying to move on to a new path, which I think will be best for both of us. I honestly don't know what else to do.
Which could mean an entirely different path for me than I'd dreamed.
Recently, I've been posting a lot of stuff in relation to marriage - mostly caused by the swarms of friends who are suddenly deciding to get into serious relationships, get engaged, and a certain group of them, married. Plus I'm looking at ways of extra income and thinking of how to design my own wedding veils and dresses (please note Pinterest explanation ;) ).
It strikes me that there's a certain depth of love that few of us can reach. The love that gives up.
It lets go.
And it doesn't stop loving. I dread the pain that comes with that. But with pain, as I've said so often, is growth.
Love that is a freewill sacrifice to God. It gives upwards to Him. It surrenders to Him.
Hmmm.
Still thinking,
In Christ,
Siân

ReplyDeleteIt's strange having engaged and married couples springing up in our peers, isn't it?
Love you, dear <3
