"loving someone means allowing the other person to respond in ways you have no control over. every time you engage yourself in an intimate, loving way with someone else you become at least partly subject to the exhilaration of hearing another person’s yes or the disappointment of his or her no. the more people you love, the more pain you may experience. for the great mystery of love is that while it can be received, it can also be rejected. every time you love you enter into the risk of love.”

That is probably one of the scariest things to think about, because we face that reality everyday with those people that have been placed in our lives. It takes a lot of faith and perseverance to make those relationships work, but as long as we trust God to guide us in our relationships and make Him the center of them all, He will bless and bring growth to us as individuals and to our relationships as a whole.
Oh yes it is scary, and beautiful. And probably the closest thing we can ever experience to how Christ feels about us...
How is life, we really need to hang out. Where are your many travelings taking you right now?
