When we first learn to ride a bicycle, friends and relatives often caution us that we're bound to fall down at least once. Well for me, in the first week of learning to ride my bike, I prided myself on NOT falling at all. But you know what they say, 'pride comes before a fall'. It was during those moments of complacence that I fell rather violently while swerving round a corner too quickly. Ah well, but still we do learn from those painful and embarrassing episodes, and the scars serve as reminders.
It's kinda similar in relationships I suppose....after the chaos has died down, most of us emerge rather 'sore' with our broken hearts. But time and our faithful Father heal our wounds.....upon hindsight, there are valuable lessons. Somehow, this has been a topic of discussion among a few dear friends of mine lately. We've concluded that emerging from failed relationships/ or erm, ambiguous relationships causes one to be humbled, wiser and clearer in recognising the qualities that we need/value in a partner.....essentially what works and what doesn't, mistakes we should avoid, a recognition of our own flaws and how we ought to improve upon them before entering into another relationship. And I do suspect that it is all the more sweeter when we find love eventually.
It's like that ironic phrase....'Beautiful Disaster'. :)
