Love is willing to walk a hard path,
not shy away from it.
For love knows there
is nothing to fear.
Nothing real can ever be threatened.
Only our illusions ever perceive attack.
Love knows that pain only hurts
if you don't see the purpose,
that discomfort is simply our
lies clashing with the truth,
and that on the other side
of every difficult thing
we experience
is something so beautiful and profound
that if we could only see it now,
we'd embrace the pain with gratitude
and laugh at the thought
that we ever tried to hide.
Where in your life have you seen that God had a greater purpose for you than you originally expected?
Where might God be working a miracle in your life that you just can't see yet?
