The Greatest

The greatest fear….is betrayal.
Feeling all I had frozen, packed away in folds of pain and doubt.

The greatest regret…is failure.
Faulting myself for weakness and hurt.

The greatest sacrifice…is pride.
Leaving the past for a future unknown.

The greatest wish….is peace.
Comforting calm of reassurance long desired.

The greatest gift…is hope.
Knowing larger plans are working for our good.

The greatest advantage...is time.
Starting today for many tomorrows.

The greatest chance is…trust.
Healing wounds both deep and threatening.

The greatest reward…is faith.
Believing again in God’s unfaltering promise.

The greatest surprise…is me.
Finding my soul in your soul’s eyes.

The greatest blessing…is you.
Touching a place in my heart that I thought was locked away.

But the greatest of these….is love.
Yours.
