Goodbye: Seems like lately it’s the only word I know. For the past five months goodbye has pierced every relationship I hold dear. From death, to loss, to war, goodbye seems omnipresent. I know for me goodbye isn’t the end, but right now it’s a painful reality.
In the midst of the pain, there is something else though, something stirring inside me, an uneasiness that I can’t explain. You see, I’ve only really experienced the pain of goodbye for about 5 months, but there are those who have known nothing else. Jesus I want you to come back soon, but if you come back soon then so many will say goodbye without a promise. A promise of a place where there is no goodbye. God, I long for the day when there are no more goodbyes, but right now give me the strength to find patience. Patience to find the very place your patience is overflowing on to the lives of sinful men, and in that place join you in the good works of your hand.
I too have been going through a season of goodbyes. I don’t think I have your attitude about it though.
You make me cry too much
