Relationships in Eternity

You've got to learn

To think of relationships

Through the perspective

Of eternity.

Because if you don't,

The pain of reality

This side of Heaven

Will crush you.

It hurts too badly

To think,

"I may never live with her again."

And this side of Heaven?

I may not.

I may never be drug down the hall

Laughing hysterically

At 12am

Because I danced too goofily

When she was trying to go to bed.

I may never hold her

After a good couch cry again.

I may never get to live with the girl

Who became my best friend

In less than a year

Ever again.

And that hurts too much to bear.

But when I think

Of it

In light of eternity,

It doesn't hurt so bad.

I may never get to live with her again,

But in less than 90 years,

I'll be able to live with her forever.

We'll be together

Forever,

Living life how it was intended to be lived

Serving and loving and glorifying

Our Creator, together.

90 years seems such a short time

To wait

When we have forever to come.

And sometimes I think about that boy,

The one I loved and lost

And it hurts

That I'll never know him again.

I'll never learn something new about him

That I wont see

Through social media

Or hear through a friend,

He'll never love me again,

Nor will I ever love him.

That hurts until I remember that

One day

We'll have a perfect restored relationship.

I may never see him again,

But I'll see him in Heaven one day.

And we'll be nothing but

Brother and sister in Christ,

Perfectly interwoven and seeing eachother

As we should.

It hurts to lose people

But it's not so terrible

When you realize you haven't lost them forever

And the relationship

Won't always be what it is now

One day we'll be restored

And reunited,

And it will be good
