We look people in the eyes, feeling a sense of care that makes us ask, “Why Me”? Our hearts begin to slow, and a home is in the process of being constructed. We call and speak for hours, text when we can’t talk, and prioritize falling in Love over everything. Why? It isn’t because nothing else has meaning or because sharing life with someone gives everything else meaning. We go to work with more passion. We look at our children with hope. We smile at strangers, sharing our faith in a glance. All the while asking ourselves, “why me”? Why not you? What did you do that was so harsh that you don’t deserve someone wanting to have their lives intertwined with yours? What did you do that led you to believe you weren’t worthy of someone investing everything they have in you? Yes, there is evil in this world, but it is up to you to trust the good when it comes. They are honest, trusting, dedicated, and devoted to you. Believe it. Ask yourself, “Why them.” What about them that causes you to light up at night and dream in the daytime? Why are the creases in your face transformed in their presence? Doesn’t that make you ask why not me, why not them, why not us? It’s okay. Lose control in the faith of Love.
