Healing.
it’s been 10 days, 10 months, 10 years
really not that long though…
They say time heals all wounds…hmm… humbug!
such bollocks –tsk– who said that again?
Whoever it was must have been high on cheap weed when he said that.
Pain.
there are some things time never heals, you know?
But what I think is that you make a choice and decide to move on
You go on and get busy with life
whatever it is you do -Job, School, Church…
you meet new people, have new hobbies, travel…
but if that thing, person or event really did matter to you, it will stay with you forever
There’ll always be places, songs, gestures, words, pictures, poems…
that will always remind you of who or what used to be.
Let Go.
in time, the tears will flow less frequently till they stop
the pain will ache so badly till it numbs out
you’ll come to a realisation that there’s nothing you could have done about it
and you’re comforted by His words
His words that say He is not going to bring to you that which you can’t handle
and you draw strength from that wisdom
looking forward to each new day, knowing that no matter what you’ve lost
you can’t afford to lose your joy, your faith and most of all your hope
You may never know why it happened or what went wrong
you just come to that realisation that you must let go – JUST LET IT GO.
Now.
you must make a conscious effort – this you must do by choice
so whether you like it or not, wake up every day
believing that something wonderful is going to happen in each day
and when the storm comes and the wind don’t blow your way
adjust your sails and move in another direction into a new adventure
So.
Live each day to the fullest.
Love like you’ve never loved before.
Sing and dance with abandon like you just don’t care.
Do something!
Anything!
Just decide to be happy… Ecstatically Happy!
Listen.
I don’t promise you the pain will go away
or that sometimes the tears will not flow without warning
and that you will always be spiritual when life challenges confront you
I don’t promise that you won’t blame yourself
wondering if there was something, anything you could have done
to have avoided that tragedy or that mistake
I still cannot promise you that sometimes you won’t question Him, asking why He allowed it to happen
and, you may never get the answer to that question!
I also can’t promise you that you won’t often wonder whether you should have fought for what you believed in-
Isn’t that what they said? The wise ones?
“Go after your dreams?”
“When the going gets rough, don’t give up?”
“If you don’t go after what you want you’ll never have it?”
“Don’t quit, every difficulty is an opportunity in disguise?”
Seriously, the wise ones who came up with these quotes forgot to put a disclaimer at the bottom-
“Terms and conditions apply”
because really some of these affirmations do not apply to every situation
Love.
But this one thing I can promise you
that His plans for you are good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope!
I can also promise you that He’ll never leave you or forsake you
And this I am so certain of, and can promise you, without blinking – that – HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH!
And that will never, ever change
NEVER EVER!
