it pains me to know that i won't get to see the people i care about
that they will eventually be far from me
maybe that's why i tend to push people away
thinking what's the point of being so close to someone
when eventually we'll be apart anyway

but God has been teaching me to love others wholeheartedly
to see each person as someone who He died on the cross for
to see as He sees
to hear as He hears
and to love like He loves

i don't know if i'll be gone tomorrow
tomorrow is not guaranteed
therefore i will love relentlessly
forgive others as God has forgiven me
and to live knowing my purpose and desire is to make His name known and not my own
