I've been learning...

the hard way.

Every day I am given the choice to love or to hold on to hurt and the past. Wow, talk about a hard choice. In Ephesians, Paul talks about how we need to love unconditionally because that is what God does. Wow, talk about a hard choice.

When I am hurt, I can love and forgive or I can hold on to the hurt and let it fester.

For some people love comes more naturally. Their hearts are built to hold a lot of people close. Mine is not one of those and so this is hard.

God is in control, though. And I'm choosing to believe that love wins.
