When you are waiting for closure from the person who caused the confusion

Proverbs 4:23

Guard your heart because the direction of your life flows from it.

When you are waiting for closure from the person who caused the confusion. You can look completely fine on the outside while this is doing a number on you inside. The first feeling is not always the problem. The problem is what you let that feeling authorize. Fear can authorize control. Rejection can authorize chasing. Shame can authorize hiding. Exhaustion can authorize choices you would not make from a clear mind. Love does not require you to ignore wisdom. Jesus Christ can teach you to love people without handing them authority He never gave them. The goal today is not to control the outcome. It is to stay aligned with Christ while the outcome is still unknown.

What would change if you stopped treating this moment like a verdict?

Lord Jesus Christ, I bring You the part I can explain and the part I cannot. Keep me from reacting out of fear, shame, pride, or loneliness. Teach me to move with You. Amen.
