pierced

the previous semester was a really scary journey. i got pulled out of my comfort zone. and i had no idea what to do. i remember sobbing about feeling unloved and being incapable of loving. and the Lord answered me. then others came into my life and met my needs. they weren't people i just met. but they used to be just names and faces. all that changed. and changed me in the process.

love is a powerful weapon, it pierces the strongest armor of apathy.

that's my definition of love. it sounds like warfare. it is. the battle between grace and pride. does that line sound familiar? it's from worlds apart by jars of clay. but pride isn't my only problem. numbness also is. sometimes. but their steadfast love i experienced penetrated the core of my being. i can only imagine the difficulty of having to scale the walls of a fortress instead of merely crossing a bridge. i hope they found the effort worthwhile. because i know the bridges that were built will withstand the test of time.
