relationships

Life is messy.

Love makes you vulnerable.

Trials reveal your strengths

                 -and your weaknesses.

All relationships are costly.

Healthy relationships take effort.

Troubles reveal the true character of your relationships.

My life is extra messy right now.

I am extra vulnerable right now.

Any strength you see in me is God at work.

I have been surprised by the strength 

of some of my human relationships.

My relationship with God came at a great cost

-to Him.

How can I do anything other than love and trust 

and walk in obedience to a God who loves like that?
