The Harder Things to
Mend
Sometimes we hurt, often we hurt another deeply, agonizingly
painful and lasting yet, when confronted, our pride arises, defenses spring up
and justification begins. We will learn
from this but only after man a sleepless night, long ponderous thought, and
hopefully much prayer.
It seems so hard to see through godly eyes, face the truth
and accept our part, though it is not the whole, it is some part of the
blame. Maturity comes from these struggles. However, some never grow because it is not
properly addressed. At the end every bad
experience and crisis is wisdom, if – we respond rightly. That is not easy.
Surely we know what to do?
It comes not in flow but trickles in like a slow leak; our hard
conscience finally is soaked with guilt.
We see the truth, that which is of true value, people, particularly
people we love. Losing them would be the
greater loss, re-connecting the greater gain.
Now, a question so many other areas of life but that would be for
another time. For now peace, yes sleep,
sweet rest. Not an end, a new beginning.
