The longing.

Short and to the point.
I long for authentic relationships. When you find them (they are often few), what a gem you've found. Sigh.

On the journey of life you often discover who people really are as you work towards intimacy. Sometimes you make frightening discoveries as to just how inauthentic those relationships you've been developing truly are.
You can despair at this point.
Or delight. Delight in the people whom you found to be truly, deeply authentic. And be glad. Be glad that you have relationship with them. They may be few. But at least they are present in your life.

I am believing for increase in the realm of uncompromisingly authentic relationships in this season of my journey. Gratitude brings increase. So I thank God for those genuine, life giving connections He has put in my life.
