JOURNAL: I CALL UPON YOU TO TRUST ME

It's obvious that all of us have suffered, and all of us make mistakes in life. yet all of us are trying our best. We can change our perception regarding the nature of human error, knowing that what is no love is but a call for love. Why not---if instead of mistrusting you....- I assume you're wounded, just like me and everyone else? Why not see the healing of our wounds as the reason we were drawn to each other. An intimate relationship will either magnify our guilt or magnify our innocence, depending on which we are committed to. And in our commitment to the love of God. In our forgiveness lies our healing, and we can only healed in ourselves of what we are willing to forgive in others.

I call up in you what I see in you. That does not mean I will stand for nonsense. It does not mean I will not have healthy boundaries. It does not mean I will play games. I does not mean you can take me for granted. or pull wool over my eyes, or act like a child. But it means I will keep my loving eye on you...the real you and I will always relate to that person I have seen. That you can trust that I will always be true to the truth I have seen within you.

My falling madly in love with you is a function of my soul. Yet the fact that I trust myself to surrender to the experience...because I know I won't do anything stupid that...that I will not shirk my worldly responsibilities or abdicate my own strenght

Help me, dear God. to see my loved one's innocence, and to help her see mine. As we admit our weaknesses, make us strong. As we admit our fears, make our love grow deeper.
