“Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.” John 13:7 NLT
You are a CapturedHeart,
Captured by The Almighty. Some situations and people spin away on their own. Pain is a great equalizer, isn’t it? No one escapes – good, bad, common, famous, young, old. The question is, will you let it disable you? Will I allow it to disarm me? Or, will it make me unstoppable?
Here is what you do – you trust your Creator anyway. Here’s the reality that will never be captured by facts and statistics.
In your lifetime, you will have dared believing in love, anyway. No matter what.
You will have given yourself every chance to love away anyway, instead of writing off the pain, tucking it away in the back drawer of resignation, dusty with the ashes of your broken heart.
When you choose to trust God here, you will enjoy the moments of liberation that surprise you, a love you have never known, the feeling of being redeemed, seamless, strong and free. You will bask in times when you are present to the sacred, or a summer breeze caresses your eyelashes as you walk along the creek on a Wednesday and forgive beyond limits. Or, an old song lights itself on your heart, or you snap a photo of a brand new set of twin fawns that no one else will ever see … there, you will know a different sense of the Divine because you have allowed yourself to receive Him more in your days. You will know a different world than those who are glued to their phone and setting an alarm to make them wake in a life that makes them want to sleep.
Your commitment to giving your love a chance will affect the way you feel about yourself. And your soul integrity will affect your sons and daughters, and even the generations to come.
Yes, you will experience fear. You will experience fear no matter what road you take. That’s a given. But this fear will have dignity. This fear will help you grow and develop the necessary muscles of faith. Let’s face it. You didn’t come here to avoid fear. You came here to be free of it. Only love will set you free.
That’s your guarantee.
Wake up. Love. Go.
