What Matters

What happened and happens with our bodies will one day be meaningless. We will no longer bear these scars. Whether we have been abused by ourselves, or others.

 

Our bodies are called to be the temple of the Lord, but we all fail in one way or another, by our doing or someone else’s, to defile this temple. If we've in our flesh have been beaten, stolen, taken, given, marred, one day these things will cease to exist.

 

All the pain and guilt. All the lies and hate. Everything that hurt us. Everyone that hurt us. Including our own choices.

 

Drugs, sex, alcohol, abuse, all these horrible yet real things… Family members we are forced to share blood with, yet who we would rather not share a continent with. People who promised love. Yet left us broken. Choices we made. Choices, we only wish we could take back.

 

None of it will bear consequence, not in the next world.

 

Not when He returns.

 

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Rev. 21:4

 

It is only those that we willingly shared our heart, spirit and soul with who we shall hold dear, and who shall matter. These are the ones we are bound to. Not the flesh, but the spirit. Including God Himself.  Anyone, that we shared true love with, love that forgives, love that prevails. They effected our heart, spirit and soul. And that is all that matters.

 

Because, one day, those will be all we have left of our time on this earth. ♥
