This life trip is not always what I would have voted for...but I wasn't given the option to pick all the circumstances. Sometimes when your shield is down, and your heart is open, and you are listening to your Creator's voice often, and you are letting the past go words will come from another and shatter the clear glass of the moment..piercing that open heart, that heart that wants to love better, that heart that wants to forgive the past .Whatever those words were supposed to do coming from another, they failed. ..they fail to speak back truth of the heart, they fail to convey the meaning of a friends thoughts, they fail to describe the anguish of unknown origins, and they injure instead leaving scars. Like tangled briers they have to be taken apart one at a time and tossed back into the wilderness of forgetfulness. Words are the worse kind of thorns because a million of unspoken pieces may have been left out, leaving the recipient (that would be me in this case) with confusion and the sense of failure and self accusation.
But then there are other words, words that instruct, and show light, ...words of Him, words of the One with Whom I have fallen in love, Words that soothe, and bring life, and calm the soul, and feel like a warm breeze and a cool glass of water all at once. Words that mend, and heal and reconcile and comfort. And only then do these particular Words not fail, because of course, Love never fails.
