This last week I had someone from my past reach back out to me. You know how it is - when you don't talk to someone anymore that you used to care so much for and you think about what it’s going to be like when you do see/hear from them again. How is my heart going to react? Will it hurt? Will it be awkward? What will I say? I am sure you have all been there before and know exactly what I am talking about.
So I got a call from this person and it came completely out of the blue. I wasn't expecting it at all, in fact I didn't even know who it was when I answered. But when I heard the voice/name I was like “OK, this is happening now.” And what was surprising to me was that after that first element of surprise, I didn't really feel much at all. It definitely didn't hurt and wasn't as awkward as I built it up to be in my head.
I was talking to a familiar voice from the past, a memory, but not to someone I know anymore. Everything I once felt for this person was gone, even the feelings of resentment, bitterness, and pain weren't there. It was like this peace was brought along with them.
It was like God had this person reach out when they did to make me see that my heart is just fine. That I can be civil in my heart with them because they aren’t causing me that conflict and pain anymore. It was a pain in the past that was healed by our amazing God. And wow that is amazing!
