It’s funny how the time you gave is not anything that you get or got back

I'm tired.

Cleo: thinking I will get angry

Meanwhile my actual reaction when I saw it:

[linasdreamnotes]

won’t be interacting much, super overwhelmed with school to the point of panic attacks, started my period and all of this stress, anxiety and strain is physically manifesting to the point of headaches, stiff shoulder pain and my entire body is on fire and aching honestly, my back feels fucking paralysed, oh and did I mention the insomnia 🫩😔 Lord I am not your strongest soldier

Just done

How many times can I screw this up?

How badly can I screw this up? Before you’re just done with me.

Questions like this can really haunt us in a relationship. Because everyone has their breaking point. And because, if we’re honest with ourselves, you and I have within us the (all too often realized) capacity to screw up any relationship.

I’m not talking about intentional stuff. Our problem is more subtle. Whether it’s through what we do or say without thinking. Or what we fail to do. You and I have some serious skills in this area.

If we’ve ever wondered why someone has abandoned us, why they’re just done with us? The odds are that you and I are at least part of the reason why.

It’s something we don’t like to think about. Because it makes us wonder which relationship we’re going to screw up next. And who’s going to be just done with us.

Which is why today’s Gospel is so important. After all Peter has done. Denying Jesus on Good Friday. Abandoning his ministry and going back to his old job.

After giving Jesus every reason to be done with him – to treat Peter just like Peter treated Him – Jesus doesn’t throw away their relationship. Jesus invites Peter to come back, to come home.

The simple truth? Our capacity to screw up any relationship is a tiny, feeble thing – when compared to the love of God for us.

Because God has no interest in throwing away His relationship with you.

There is nothing that you can do to change that. Nothing that will make God say, “I’m just done with you.”

No matter what you’ve done, God will not abandon you.

No matter how far you’ve gone, God is inviting you to come back, to come home.

the urge to just walk away from it all. to vanish. no explanation. not out of sadness. just because it’s not worth the effort.
