Had an interesting conversation today about relationships and boundaries. This wasn't the first time this week. The problem with love is that there is a possibility you could get hurt. There is inherent risk in being in relationships with others (not just romantic ones, although thats huge) in that those relationships can be severed, or be painful to maintain. But what are we to do? Hole up and never really put ourselves out there? Insulation could seem like a safe thing to do, because hey, at least you'll never get hurt.
Ah, but here comes the obligatory 20'something guy with glasses and facial hair U2 quote, are you ready for it?
But you can’t be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
The only pain is too feel nothing at all. So there is so much to Jesus' command to love one another. This means that we're putting ourselves at risk. But love is worth the risk.
I feel so inspired I'm about to explode, howabout you?
