The root of bitterness had been slowly growing unseen in the dirt, but he decided to break daylight and get a look above ground. What he saw was a heart that did not extend the warm welcome he longed for. Oh, he tried to wind his tendrils in amongst the thoughts and feelings of her soul, but the choice was made to not give a mile after an inch was asked for.
"Of course you are loved," he taunted, "but not by that one!" Actions speak louder than words, it is true.
But to look only on the here and now and give up on hope would mean giving up on the One who told her to wait...giving in to humanity and up on faith in things not yet seen.
"Of course I am loved," she said, "by The One who loved me so much that He sent down His Son."
This fact makes a difference in how life is lived, she's thankful not bitter, with love now to give.
