We always have something we treasure. For example, I have a necklace that I have bought a few years ago which has a small G Clef pendant. I adored it so much I always wore it when I was in my middle and senior high school. But somehow, I realized that when I started going to college, I stopped wearing it. Not only that I don’t wear it but also I couldn’t even find it in my jewelry box.
This also happens to the love we feel. We always have that strong affection for someone – parents, friends, or a significant other, and most of the time that affection inevitably gets hidden somewhere like a necklace we used to wear. Maybe after a few arguments and misunderstanding, it gets buried by anger and regret. That affection gets covered by other strong emotions like hate, insecurity, or envy yet we are unaware that it is still there waiting to be found again – just like my necklace somewhere misplaced or hiding between my clothes in my closet waiting. And though sometimes we neglect to find that affection because it’s tiresome and difficult because it means we need to revive the love we thought that was too far gone or that maybe it’s not really there anymore. However we can’t fool ourselves nor deny that without that love, we’ll feel empty like a neckline bare and cold without that necklace.
It is there. Believe me. Somewhere beneath the sheets of resentment or at the corners of unclaimed forgiveness, it is there waiting to be found.
Be courageous and take time to find that lost love. For above all, we must love each other deeply because it covers over a multitude of sin. (1 Peter 4:8) And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (Colossians 3:14)
