On Healing, eventually.

I have a heart that has been hurting.
It aches and it pains.
I don't understand its pain, I don't understand anything.

I understand the love of the sovereign Lord, or at least I accept it and want to know more.

Today, I saw a trailer for Spike Jonze's new short film "I'm Here." It is about robots in love.
Robots get to be in love. Robots get to figure out what the hell we humans are doing wrong.

I was jealous, for that entire minute, of a robot.

I am human and I get to love other humans and get to interact with God's most intricate creation, and I was jealous of something entirely man-made with thousands of glitches.

My heart is still hurting. And I am still angry.
And I still don't understand.
A lot can change in a month or two, but my heart has not.
Healing can happen in time, but hasn't happened yet.

My heart still feels the same. But it will heal, eventually.
I'm trying to be sure of that.

you have a beautiful heart. and an incredible way of expressing yourself.

He has made everything beautiful in its time.
He has also set eternity in the hearts of men;
yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
