Even When It Hurts

I had a conversation with God today.

It wasn’t easy. It was filled with a lot of pain and tears.

He said, ‘ I know how much you love this person but you have to lay them down at the cross. You have to let go.’

My eyes filled with tears and I said, ‘God it hurts. It is breaking my heart to do this.’

He lovingly responded, ‘I know it hurts but everything will be okay.’

With that I picked up your body and I laid it at the foot of the cross. 

I’ll do whatever you ask of me, Lord. I know your plan for me is great. My heart hurts and my sadness is deep but I will trust in you.
