I see you today in that difficult relationship, so weary you can hardly take a breath. So much pain has been inflicted that you feel you will never be healed. You’ve been in the middle of the relationship challenge for so long that you can’t lift your head up and imagine things could ever change. It seems impossible to you. It seems impossible to everyone else.
But there is the gospel.
As we pull up close to the gospel, we remember there is hope for every man to be transformed when the light of Christ shines into his darkness.
So what should you do with a person’s name?
If you determine not to write it off, then the alternative is to write the name on your heart. It’s a vulnerable place, the heart. But either way, there will be wounds, right?
It’s better to pull a person in close and suffer long than to shove him away.
