Can we all just be honest with one another?
We put our trust and love into things that are not God, nor should they be. And it never works out, does it?
They always fail. They always do.
And sometimes, the heartbreak and agony that follows is literally a physical pain, crushing and choking your heart right out of your chest and into your throat. And it's awful.
And where do we turn to put ourselves back together? Those same things, of course.
How silly. You think we'd learn. Ah, irony and it's grim consequences.
There go our hearts.
Why don't we learn to guard our hearts? Let's stop giving them away at every turn. Better yet, let's stop blaming things and people when they don't take care of our hearts the way God is designed to. You can't treat anything else like God. It's not fair.
And let's let ourselves be hurt. But then let's move forward. Out of the things that hurt us and onto brighter horizons. Let's not look back with bitterness and blame the world for our insecurities. Let's take it as one takes a vitamin: swiftly, with a painful swallow, knowing that it's only going to make us better over time.
Now. Let's pick ourselves up like the conquerers we long to be and face the world for no one's approval but God's.
