Curiosity Is Not Care

It starts as wondering.
Where are they now? What are they doing? Do they ever think of me?

The thoughts come softly, almost kindly, but they carry something heavier underneath. They pull the heart back into places God already asked you to release. Curiosity feels like care, yet it is not. Curiosity is not care—it’s control trying to find a foothold.

The mind wants to know because knowing feels safer than not knowing. It searches for updates, signs, and meanings that were never meant to anchor peace. Surrender breaks that loop. It does not mean you stop loving or stop praying. It means you stop managing what love cannot reach.

God’s love is not limited by distance. He sees the person you miss, knows their path, and holds their story. You can love them best by trusting Him most.

Compassion prays and lets go. Control imagines and tightens its grip again. When curiosity rises, take it as a cue to surrender. Whisper, “They are Yours, Lord,” and let the silence settle into peace.

You are not losing them by doing this. You are letting God hold what you cannot. Love that surrenders is not weaker; it is finally free.
