Today after school a few of the staff started talking about theology. Oh how I love that. Yet, the content made me have a piece of humble pie. My pride has gotten the better of me so much this past year. But, what was even more difficult was that in the course of our discussion the conclusion that was agreed upon was: we live in a fallen world therefore pain and suffering are part of the reality of this world. Then immediately following the meeting something came up that made me cry. The cause of tears was an effect of loving someone. Love is so risky, so painful and so hard. Even though I am sealed with Christ and he has enabled me to love, loving people is still hard. They will do things or you will do things or bad things may happen to them that break your heart. So, what do we do? We weep with them, we forgive them, we ask for forgiveness, we pray for them, but more importantly we love them. If you do not agree that love is hard or that love is worth the risk of pain/heartache then I wonder if you have ever loved.
