The Power To Break My Heart
Abi and Trevor Ponsford
“I don’t know why I did this but something in my heart made me ask “Do I have your full blessing?” It took him a moment to think about what I was asking and then he looked me in the eye and spoke the words that had the power to break my heart.”
When we are reading love stories, we need to focus on what God has done—not on what the people did—because our very best “rightness” is still worth nothing in the Kingdom of God. It doesn’t guarantee us a single thing. Love stories are about how God moved, even when people didn’t have any idea that He was there.
