No matter how frail, how helpless, how broken or how lost or how alone you may feel there is someone/s waiting in the wings to nurture you back to your whole loving self. Often we have been conditioned to feel we aren't worthy of nurturing or think that nurturing is for the young. Maybe everyone in your life has walked away, hurt or disappointed you since birth. Can I encourage you to open yourself up? Human beings were created by a loving God for love. It is His greatest commandment; to love one another. You will never know how deep, how wide or how strong love can be if you continue to protect yourself from it. It wasn't love that hurt you before. It was someone using what they called love as manipulation. Authentic love does not manipulate. It serves. It protects. It trusts. It nurtures.
I am blessed today, God has put a new and exciting person across my path. I look forward to the adventure Janet. As I read your blog this morning, I was reminded that when love or any life circumstance disappoints; I lean on a life principle from Charles Stanley. It says "Disappointments are inevitable; discouragement is a choice"... Choose wisely, choose to reaffirm your trust in God. Hab 3:17-19. Thanks for your thoughts.
