Nothing is permanent. forgive me, for such cynicism, or perhaps for throwing such a reality. insta stories are temporary, the moment is temporary, sometimes it feels as if its just the wind that breezes by. no matter how much you catch it, you cannot. it just passes you by.
some friendships come and go. they are seasonal, just for the moment, just like a wind that breezes through your hair. i come to realise that friends really come and go. really.
the holy spirit reminded me, that me offering my friendship to someone is like me presenting a gift to someone. here's the catch: the person has the freedom to accept or reject this 'gift'. and i've come to realise that not everyone would accept this gift. even if the person may have accepted the 'gift', the receiver still has every right to make use of this 'gift'. he could just put it at home and leave it dormant.
and ive come to a place where it is okay, if you've left this gift somewhere, chucked in a corner collecting dust. this is not from a place of self pity, that people don't care about what i offer or how I am not appreciated. i'll still do my best to love in my capacity but i've come to terms of holding it loosely.
but i've come to realise that the only permanent thing throughout my life is God. the holy spirit. the same holy spirit has been with me since i said my first prayer when i was 11. and the same holy spirit is still with me as i sing 'come holy spirit' during bible school. he's not just a passing wind that brushes and tickles my face, but he lingers for a little while more, gently, like a gentleman.
nothing is permanent. only God, his promises, the cross, and the holy spirit is.
well, and thank you, to those who stayed, you know who you are.
