Acceptance.
It doesn't mean you've "moved on" or even that you've "gotten over it"
No, it's not that at all.
Acceptance is more than that, it's a deep assurance in your spirit that senses God's presence in the midst of the chaos and heartache.
Acceptance.
It isn't that you've "fallen out of love"
No, I love too deeply to ever fall out of it.
In fact, I may love even deeper in this acceptance, because it's when you seek out the other's higher good.
Acceptance.
It is when bitterness ceases. It is when we forgive. It is when we love purely. It is when we show genuine affection.
Acceptance.
It is when with open hands and outstretched arms we allow God in and allow Him to heal.
Acceptance.
It is fondly looking back on the past and knowing that though the present is difficult to figure out and the future is clouded at best, everything in this life happens for a reason.
Acceptance.
Maybe of circumstance, but perhaps more of God.
Acceptance of His love.
Acceptance of His sovereignty.
Acceptance of His heart for us.
Acceptance.
It is an acknowledgement of all elements of your heart:
- The love still etched in deep into you
- The confusion, the loss
- The assurance that in the love, in the pain, and in the heartache, you feel God has a wonderful plan in store.
- The surrender of your heart and all of it's emotions to the throne of the King, knowing that that is the safest place for your heart to be.
Acceptance.
Brings healing, hope, and perhaps more love than you knew was possible.
Acceptance.
