Yesterday at church we were asked to talk about a time when we invested in the life of someone and got hurt by it. We were also encouraged to share those hurts with others. If I had to do it again, I would invest the same time and resources, because it is better than never having put my heart out there in the first place.
Relationships without risk is impossible. Just look at Jesus. He loved and gave, and for what? Rejection. Everyone left him. He was crucified by the same people who once received him. Yet, a larger purpose was satisfied. The salvation of the world.
A wife. a mother. A pastor's wife. Above all, a Christ follower.
