who we are

to be loved by anyone

to love anyone

to be alone

to realize loneliness is a gift

friendship gets harder

as one gets older

Jesus died for His friends

and now

we walk this good earth

some sad from loss

some sad from gain

some sad for sin
some sad from shame

He is preparing us for the resurrection

this is our hope

married

single

divorced

friend

friendless

joyful

sad

He is preparing us for the great journey

and we need to understand that how we act now

affects how we will act later

how we love now

how we care now

how we hate now

how we forgive now

how we don't forgive now

He wants us filled with grace

not with disgrace

with hope

not with horror

for who we are is who we will be
