On this day, God wants you to know... that truth has strength and power of its own. In any situation you find yourself in, look for truth, search for it deep in your heart. Let that truth of your heart flow, and you will see obstacles melt like ice.
So, yesterday, I took a road trip with some of my sister friends, and as usual, there was good conversation and good fun. As I reflected on our shared community, the situations of my friends with "crushes," and on relationships in general, I had a realization: love is simple. Love, as an entity, is simple. The problems and complications enter in when we introduce things like roles, expectations, stereotypes, past baggage and brokenness, etc. It is then that relationships becomes a hard, confusing mess with little of anything that resembles actual love. One of my friends with a "crush" was saying that her love for her friend was simple - comfortable, easy, authentic - like the natural flow of the relationship. Even in watching her interact with her girlfriend, the simplicity of their relationship reminds her of the simple nature of things. While her thoughts about the situation aren't always simple because of the context, her feelings for her friend are, and they can even put her at peace despite the apprehension that she sometimes feels because of the situation.
And so the quotation above from the facebook app seems to fit well into this line of thought. Just like truth, love has strength and power of its own, and when you seek to let love be the guide in the midst of any situation, the mountains can become ant hills, and peace will be available.
Focus on the love...
