from the journal...
'there might not be a worse feeling in the world than knowing (or thinking that you know) someone who you think is an amazing person in so many ways doesn't feel the same way about you. it hurts. as i contemplate this, i hear God speaking. "now you know how I feel," He says. not exactly, cuz His love is much greater, deeper & wider than anything i could ever hope to offer someone, but in that analagous way through which i so often relate to Him. if people can reject His love and the ultimate sacrifice of His son in order to reconcile us to Him, how can i be surprised that the same thing can happen to me and my petty imitation of His love? i'd like to think that i would lay down my life for those i care about, but i don't know if i'd do the same with my own child. and i'm not God, so it's not the same anyway. but it still hurts.'
