Have you reached a point where you say you can’t handle it anymore? Where the tears have to flow, or the hand left loose?
If you have never, personally I have. In such moments I feel I wish I had known all that was happening was but a dream. But that is not what it turns to be most of the time.
Rationally between two people and how we relate it with that of God. A lot happen in this simple life but have we ever considered the power of the following two statements, “I forgive you” and “I am sorry”? these statements are more powerful than the commonly used statement, “I love you”. But the loose meaning when the statement, “I can’t love you anymore” or” I can’t forget this”.
In a relationship three worded statements normally build but when a lot of words come in, they are destroyed.
Now as I sit reflecting on how as human beings, we have ever considered ourselves when it comes to matters relationships, I realize we are not becoming the ultimate image of God which is our ultimate purpose. Consider what was said before our creation, “Let us make man…” How many times have we made ourselves a reflection of our own sinful selves? How many times have we said one to another, “I can’t love you anymore?” be it to our sisters or to our brothers or even to those we treasure much and even those we at one time thought could share life’s moments of joy and of grieve?
I am not an exceptional.
At one point I have felt a no more spirit instead of a normal spirit. There are many moments I have said it is over and even I don’t think it is best for us to talk to each other. But as I consider tonight this topic I have always felt guilty of how I made someone feel. How I lowered their esteem to a point they considered themselves unlovable, ugly and even worthless to live. How tears of bitterness formed within their faces and even their souls. How broken they felt, choked with the life this world offers. I made them hate people as if all were bad without considering people are not the same.
Yeah, two wrongs cannot make a right they say. That is why I have considered resetting to default setting. Personally, that is a task that I cannot do but I have known one who can do it for me. I need not only to forgive and forget, but to love once again. To say “I love you more and more despite how much bad you do to me, I will still love you”
David knowing how hard this was, he writes saying,
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalms 51:10
As I conclude this blog, consider if God was man, what will He have done to you and me over the sins we do against Him daily? But consider what He has done instead. He has “…loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” What Joy within our heart should this bring! How much is it needed that we too may reflect this love to others!
Friend,
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” 1John 3:1,2
Let us love more.
