Love Lost

Who would think in losing love one might actually find it?

I must admit I never thought it to be true. How in the world could you find love when your heart is breaking? But I am learning first hand that love can be found, even in the midst of heart-breaking loss.

I'm not sure how to even explain it... I'm still walking through it and sorting it out. But this is what I'm finding: The pain may still be there, the sense of loss remains, but in the midst of all the hurt and tears love finds it way in. It just comes in different ways. It comes through friends loving you, even when you're sad. Through sweet people speaking truth into your heart and life, reminding you of God's love for you. And in a funny way, the loss of love seems to only leave room for more love, not less. I'm seeing a whole new dimension of love in this process. And really I'm not just seeing, I'm feeling it!

"the righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all." Psalm 34:17-18
