Just shut up and write!

I'm always trying to come up with an excuse to delete this blog (other than the obvious "putting my life out there for everyone to see" excuse). But as I've said in the past, something always stops me and I say to myself, "But my words may help someone." I don't know for sure that they will, but just the potential is enough to keep myself in this vulnerable position. Anyone on this planet who has access to a computer (that's A LOT of people) can read about me. And it's not necessarily good stuff about me. I'm constantly afraid that I'm not a good enough writer, that I won't make sense to people, or that no one will be able to relate. There are a great deal of things that I share which I would rather not. But then I get reminded that it's not about me. If there's any chance that this blog could positively affect the life of at least one person, then all the discomfort and humility that I sometimes feel is well worth it. Besides, I strongly believe we should use the experiences of the challenges we have overcome in life to help someone else who is facing similar challenges to overcome. If I don't take the knowledge which I've gained thus far and try to help at least one person, then all of my heartache, disappointment, tears, etc., were in vain. All of my struggles would be rendered pointless. With all that being said, I must let it be known that my key motivation for writing this blog (now and forever), is to give glory to God. I'm so grateful for His grace, mercy, and love!! I HAVE to give God His props and I have no reservations about sharing God's goodness... I want the world to know! I can reach far more people with heartmake.com than I ever could without it. That's what life is all about anyway... giving God His glory. And THAT, I can do without a moment's pause. Therefore, I tell myself...

His Passion

I have heard people say, "true love doesn't hurt." Heck, I believe I've even said it in a previous post. Well, I've come to learn... true love can and does hurt sometimes. If you disagree, just ask Jesus. He suffered and died because He loves us so much. He didn't have to do it, we were not even worth it, but it was love. The truth is, even with the most sincerest love, we're going to be hurt at times when dealing with human beings. We are all imperfect so it's inevitable. The key to getting through the pain is our passion to love. PASSion will get you through anything! PASSion is pretty much unstoppable. When I think about how much passion it took for Jesus to die on the cross for my (someone who is not even worthy) sins, it's incomparable to anything in this world. So love does hurt (although Jesus suffered physical pain, I'm referring to emotional pain ONLY)... but love never fails! Just have the PASSion to get past the pain.
