I Cannot Hold You

Life challenges us in ways that are hard to accept, but are very necessary. The Most High teaches us how to behave and conduct ourselves when we experience adversity. Sometimes, we are used as a vessel for someone else's journey. We are not oblivious or exempt from fine tuning, but we do have a responsibility to be receptive and learn from the lessons at hand. We are not a perfect people, but we do have a responsibility to handle each other with care and delicate gloves. Communication, actions and thoughts all represent ways in which our internal feels and expresses our love language. Action without thought is dangerous! Sometimes we are not cognizant of the animosity and hurt that we withhold within ourselves, but we do have a responsibility in how we portray and project those behaviors on others. Do we fall short at times? Of course, we do. Many times, it is in hindsight where we realized that our actions and our emotions verbalized may not have been communicated in the most appropriate and effective manner. Are there opportunities for forgiveness? Yes. But true forgiveness takes time and is well-received after we sit within ourselves and understand that are behaviors are a direct representation of our wounded being. We must make a conscious effort to choose our words wisely and how we spew them out on others. Our words have lasting effects and many times they cannot be taken back, depending on how severe they are. Love is a conduit for healing. Love is going within one's self. Love is acknowledging that we are not always right. Love makes us accountable for our actions. Love transcends. Love recognizes areas of improvement. Where there is love, hate cannot reside. Love conquers all. Ultimately, love will prevail in the end!
