This life is made for reconciliation,
from imperfect humans reconciling with the perfect Lord.
to long lost children reconciling with loving parents.
to old friends reconciling with their childhood buddies.
but my most favorite...
is the reconciliation of a broken friendship, made new into a bond formed stronger than the one that was broken.
And in this all, I realized that reconciliation is made possible by Love. Not the "love" that comes from the world, but out of sacrifice. To gain something beautiful must cost something painful. The cost of new life was death on the cross and the cost for reformed friendship is the risk of losing it altogether.
what a beautiful word. reconciliation. Love.
