a look into the unknown

Resonates with my heart.

Quoted from a post by a friend of a friend.

At the end of your life, when you stand before God, and he asks, “Did you learn love?” what will you say? Will you show him your accomplishments? Or will you show him the times it was hard but you still held on to a friendship; the times you wanted to leave, but you stayed; the times you were hurting, but you forgave; the times you wanted to keep, but you gave; the times you felt ashamed, but you received forgiveness; the times you wanted to hate yourself, but you received love; the times you fell, but you got back up; the times you wanted to be alone, but you stuck it out together; the times you wanted to hide everything, but you confessed. It’s always easier not to feel. You could harden your heart and live a life less painful, but you would never truly live. Are you willing to feel? To laugh, to cry, to dance, to hug? Because if you have the love of Christ working inside of you, it will always prevail. It will always hope. It will always persevere. It will never fail.
