We live a long
time in order to become lovers. God is like a good parent, refusing to do our
homework for us. We must learn through trial and error. We have to do our
homework ourselves, the homework of suffering, desiring, loving, and winning and
losing, hundreds of times.
Grief is one of
the greatest occasions of deep and sad feeling, and it’s one that is socially
acceptable. Most understand and want to walk with you in your grief. When we
lose a beloved friend, wife, husband, child, parent, or maybe a possession or a
job, we feel it is okay to feel deeply. But we must broaden that. We’ve got to
find a passion that is also experienced when we have it, not just when
we’re losing it. And we have it all the time. Don’t wait for loss to feel,
suffer, or enjoy deeply.
