005 (Always Worth It)

Relationships are hard.

It's hard to move toward someone with the insides of your soul flying around you. It's hard to let someone past the walls you've put up with everyone else you've known. It's hard to open up, when everything you've ever known is telling me to shut myself away.

But it's always worth it.

Don't be afraid. To go onward, toward being consumed by the love of Jesus for people and for the one you're closest to. Don't fear to go inward, to move toward the heart of the matter. You will break sometimes, you will burn, and some parts of your heart will become ash in the end.

But beauty comes from ashes.

Don't be afraid to keep moving, Don't be afraid to give yourself to the people you love. To be known. To know.

I want to know you. To be known by you.
