Free Write

I never thought that there would ever be a point where death seemed a better option than emotional pain and turmoil. We grow up reading these dramatic love stories and watching sappy movies often thinking, "How silly!" That said, from where where I stand now, the stories and movies seem no less silly, but also all the more truthful--at least in part.

I never had him, but I loved him. My heart is breaking, but not simply because of love lost or unrequited. So much has changed so quickly and it all seems so unfair. Lord, the turmoil you must have felt when your own creation, whom you not simply had but formed with your own hand, turned against You? I can see a small piece of how death became the only option. How deeply you must have loved us Lord, if I a mere human can feel so broken over people I never truly had to this point of realization.

How deep and wide is your love of LORD that You do not turn and run from us because of the the pain.
