God is constantly in the process of chipping away, massaging my ego and remolding who and what he wants me to be. While he has been journeying with me for the last 27.5 years, I have only discovered his love for me in the last 20. I would say that only in the last 4 years have I really been able to grasp what love really is, how it feels, and what it does for me and to me.
I have been through some stuff.
divorce, job loss, dumb choices, good choices, obedience, remarriage, NICU/emergency surgery/hours of therapy w/ my first child, miscarriage, loss of relationships, new relationships, call, obedience, waiting...
Life is writing this story, God is directing it, I am a character (quiet literally) and ultimately love is the ending and the new beginning.
If love is the ending and new beginning, then the waiting, the challenges, the good things - are all worth it.
Understanding this has given me a mission and a purpose. While literarily simple, it is unendingly complex and completely fulfilling.
Love God, Love others - simple, complex, fulfilling
Try it. Embrace it. Let it completely redirect you.
I needed to read this today! Thank you, sir!
