When you have done everything in your power to be consistent, faithful and responsive to your other person, they may still forsake all your efforts, all your kindnesses. And if your efforts do fail let it not be because you gave up or stopped seeing them as a person.
So today, your dare is to put your unfailing responsiveness into the most powerful, personal words you can. This is your chance to declare, in print, that no matter what imperfections exist - both in you and your other person - your view of them as a person is greater still.
Today's Challenge: Spend time today in reflection and write a letter of commitment and resolve to your other person. Include why you are committing to this relationship, and that you have purposed to be responsive to them no matter what. Leave it in a place where they will find it.
When complete: 1. What were some of the hesitations you had in writing this letter? 2. How did you expect them to respond to it? 3. What did this process teach you about yourself?
