We are happy when we are growing.
The thing about a break-up is that it’s kinda similar to a death. You pictured yourself married and having kids and the whole thing. So you’ve got this past that you experienced and this future you’ve foreseen, and now all of that is gone. And the thing about a death is, you have to give yourself permission to mourn it. Some days you’re just going to get sad and that’s it. And it’s okay to be sad and not try to orchestrate or manipulate your own emotions.

You get a fluttery feeling in your tummy and you wonder if that’s love. That’s romance. Love is when you’ve lost your arms and legs and you still wouldn’t hesitate to walk a thousand miles on your lips through broken glass for the object of your love. If you struggle to have this kind of love for a perfect God, who offers you eternal life in paradise as a free gift, then you’ll certainly struggle to love an imperfect person. Be a bigger, better lover… bold, passionate, and zealous!
