I’ve been writing in my head for months but the words don’t type themselves. The last time I actually wrote some words down here was over the Christmas holidays when most everyone we spend time with outside of work/ministry was away from Haiti. That got me pondering the transient nature of our relationships and life in general. Little did I know that feeling was only a foreshadowing of the months to follow. I think about the life of Jesus and how he knew He only had a short time to walk in this world He humbly came to save. Jesus’ love for us through the incarnation shows that he is God with us. We are created with a compulsion to be with those we love as well, instead of remaining a world away. Lately, it feels like the worlds between us and those we love keep moving farther and father away. It feels like a way too slow kingdom coming. We are left longing for forever, not this transient entrapment.
