I have this yearning in my soul to talk about what’s on my heart right now. I love this feeling. It’s unavoidable. It’s all-consuming. It’s the Spirit stirring within me.

It’s a funny thing to see someone you were once in a deep and intimate relationship moving on. It’s an even funnier thing to see someone you were once in a deep and intimate relationship with moving on when you’re living for God.
In this moment, I am happier than my words can explain. It’s amazing to know that Aaron has moved on and is not dwelling on our past, but what’s even more amazing is that because of Christ, I have moved on and I am not dwelling on our past.
On one hand, it’s sad that the moving on occurred so quickly. It took only six and a half months for him to get over a cumulative, three year relationship which makes it seem like there was no substance (or worse, no love) on his end, but regardless of whether or not that’s true, what matters to me is that there was love on my end. I can honestly say that I loved him then and that I love him even now. But without Christ, I wouldn’t have been empowered to do so. Without Christ, I would probably be heart-broken right now. But because of His awesome and all-powerful love, He has given me strength, He has given me faith, and He has given me love.
I never thought that being happy for Aaron in the way that I’m happy for him right now would be possible. There was a time when I thought love meant being selfish. There was a time when I thought love meant holding on to someone even if they wanted you to let go. There was a time when I thought love meant being loved back. But in this hot pursuit for the heart of the Lover of my soul, I finally realized that love is a one-way street; it asks for nothing in return. God loved me first, He loved me before I loved Him and He loved me even after I turned away. He is the ultimate example of True Love.
In this life, people move on. We are programmed to meet people, love people, and leave people when God tugs at our hearts and changes the season. But while loving and losing is the fate of this world, the eternal fate we inherit is an everlasting and unfailing love, given only by the Heavenly Father. He is the only one who can answer the cries of our hearts.

How blessed are those who are able to move on and be happy because of the power of Christ’s love.
