"The way to love life is to imagine losing it." Ann Voskamp said this in her book, One Thousand Gifts Devotional. She said this as she thought of losing her Mother. She ended her devotion with this prayer:
Father God, may I wake to losing someone today — so I can win love. Cause me to realize that someday I’ll lose what I have — so I can win real eyes. Let me experience unlimited elation today — by imagining unexpected limitation. Let me envision life without the loveliness of those I love — and I can see to love more.
May this be our prayer, to love more.
