We're All In It.

Four years ago, one of my prayers was answered. God placed someone in my life who was good, caring, and full of faith. She became a very sensible, but very caring spiritual guide for me. She also was someone I thought was perfect. I figured that since she worked for God that she was holy, and would never do anything bad or wrong. She was perfect in my eyes, and I was happy with that. But as soon as she did one thing that hurt me, I figured out that she was not perfect. She like all of us is human.

Lately, she has hurt me in a number of ways. She has caused me to consider whether God still wants her in my life. And after a lot of prayer, and searching, I know that I need to fight the good fight. I need to fight for my relationship with her. I also know that I can't do it alone.

There are many broken people in this world, some more than I. But it is our obligation as broken people to be there for people, to help them fight their fights, to help them carry their crosses, to help them to be whole, and put back together. Everyone, no matter how broken they are can be made whole. And I have people in my life who are helping me fight the fights. I have people in my life who are reminding me why I'm fighting this fight, and reminding me that I'm strong.

I believe that even though I'm broken, I'm capable of doing what God wants me to do. And I believe that in my heart, love conquers all. I'm broken, yes, but I still have love. I love my spiritual guide a lot more then she knows. And love is why I'm fighting the fight. Love is why I'm not giving up. Love is why I'm allowing her to help me become whole, even though we're broken. We are in this world together, broken or not. And through our brokenness, God will save us all.
