One of my deepest held beliefs? All human relationships are poison and wine. Fact. I believe we’re all a house divided, so of course, so are our homes. Those closest wound the deepest and produce scars that oftentimes never completely heal. All of us have relational scar tissue and still cannot live (at least fully) without playing with the fire that burnt us previously. We’ve all got to figure out with whom we’ll dance – some simply for a season; a few, for a lifetime.
It’s a beautiful mess, even when we’re at our best. We are all poison and wine. God, help me look to you when nothing here makes sense. God, help me allow you to fill me up to overflowing. God, help me stop keeping score. God, help me be wise with whom I make fine wine. God, help me give more than I take. God, help me. Amen.
Live hard. Love harder…
