It's pretty crazy to think about all the good that can come from a bad situation. There's still a lot of good I can't see from this situation, but I know I've been growing a lot spiritually and just as an individual. I'm seeking to let go.
C.S. Lewis said "Love is not an affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved one's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained". I know I've failed at loving in this way because I couldn't get my mind off of ME being his ultimate good. I still think we could have been for each other, but right now I'm just focusing on ultimate good even if it doesn't involve me.
I don't know what God has in store for my ultimate good yet, but I don't want to exclude Him while I'm waiting to find out.
Psalm 13
"How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, O Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death; my enemy will say, I have overcome him, and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord for he has been good to me."
Lord, thank you for who you are. I don't say that enough. You are peace. You are strength. You are the purest of all love. Let your spirit shine brightly through me, so others may look at me and see your spirit. May I recognize you always as the Ultimate Good, the only reason I can begin to associate myself with any good.
