It's just another day that I wanna take time to breathe.
And I cried while listening to Ed's new song - Best Part of Me.
It doesn't make sense. Why you love me.
He loves me. He loves me. Why the hell He loves me.
Just reminded again about His love, which still does not make sense sometimes.
I know this song is definitely not talking about God's love but still. Hits me hard.
Also, hate the fact that my tears are so hard to control really.
It's just a song. Sigh, have to deal with these post-crying dry and weary eyes again.
Another thing that hit me hard today, an article in my mailbox by Morgan.
" When you have endured suffering, now you know how to be with others in their pain. When you have been through what someone else has been through, your encouraging word is more than an encouraging word. It is a mirror that reminds that other person they are seen. So for all of the suffering you have endured, just know that even though it’s hard to make sense of, you can be there for the one who is struggling with the same thing. You can let them know that at least one other person is walking this path. Sometimes in life, we want answers, and sometimes, we just want to know we are not alone. We just want to know we are not the only ones who are experiencing this. And even without the answers or the step-by-step recovery plan, this can become a part of our healing journeys.
This is how we can love people. Love is being willing to sit and just be with people right where they are. Love doesn’t try to “fix” them or make them “get over it.” Loving isn’t easy, but when you have suffered in your life, you know the difference love can make. You know the difference that a listening ear or welcoming arms can make on those nights where you can hardly sleep. And even if you didn’t receive love when you were suffering, you can probably look back and see how wonderful it would have been to have someone there to share in this suffering. To have someone by your side who understood, or at least was willing to empathize.
When we have had to suffer, it changes us....but within that change, what if also changed the way we love? What if changed us to see that no one is alone in their suffering, and we have the power to love one another through it? "
Back to work,
