“Every natural love will rise again and live forever in this country: but none will rise again until it has been buried.” — C.S. Lewis
Lewis’s words offer hope for young adults wrestling with love’s complexities—romantic dreams, friendships, or family ties. You may have experienced love’s joys but also its pains—breakups, betrayals, or unmet expectations. Lewis assures us that God doesn’t discard these loves but transforms them through surrender, preparing them for eternity.
This transformation often feels like death. Letting go of a relationship, releasing a dream, or forgiving a deep hurt can be agonizing. Yet, the Gospel promises that what is buried in faith rises anew. God uses these moments to refine your heart, teaching you to love with His selflessness and grace. This process isn’t punishment but preparation, aligning your loves with His eternal kingdom.
As you navigate the highs and lows of relationships, trust that God is at work, even in the losses. Offer Him your hopes and hurts, believing that He is reshaping them for a glory you can’t yet see. This hope frees you to love boldly, knowing that nothing entrusted to God is wasted. Never forget—you are loved, and you are not alone.
John 12:24 (ESV): “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
