Allowing Yourself to Want Again

Desire after disappointment
Disappointment can teach us to stop wanting. Desire begins to feel dangerous when hope has led to pain.
Healing invites desire back slowly. Wanting again does not guarantee loss. Scripture reminds us that longing is part of being human.
You are allowed to want without certainty. Desire does not make you naive. It makes you alive.
