Challenges to Love

Love.

 Love is an interesting and complex topic. At the best of times, love is incredibly beautiful and brings a great joy to ones heart and soul. During the good times of life, it is very easy to love someone. Unfortunately, love like everything else in life is dual-edged sword. As it can fill ones heart and soul with this extreme joy and happiness, at the same time it can cause a great deal of agonizing pain and sorrow.

The degree of difficulty in loving a person during hard times is directly proportional to how far/long we are apart / how bad they hurt us/how bad we failed them.

The hunger and longing for the person we love grows more and more each day. This emptiness can lead to not only pain, but also anger and bitterness at the one we love for “abandoning us.” With each day that goes by, we can become more restless and resentful.

These things shake us to our very core and cause us to doubt everything about the person. They make us see the person as a bad person with little or no redeeming
