You are loved
focus on that
breathe on that
live on that
move in that
daily
from one moment to the next
in your waking hours
in your dreams
in your imaginings
until no barrier exists
between yourself
and your lover
between God
and His beloved
until nothing can ever separate you
from the Love that lives forever
and transcends all things
all places
and all possibilities
You are loved
that is all that matters
Love is a great thing
greatest of all goods because it renders light every burden
and bears equally all that is unequal.
Because it carries a burden without feeling it,
and renders sweet and pleasing every bitterness.
Nothing is sweeter than Love,
nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more sublime
nothing more expansive, nothing more joyful, nothing more abundant
nothing more pleasing in Heaven or on earth
because love is born of God,
nor it can rest upon created things, but only in God.
We cannot exempt ourselves from the world
while we are in the world,
and while we are in it
it is our lot to love broken men.
Yet how can we do it
when we are ourselves are broken,
and need to be assured
that we are loved
that we are accepted
for being the broken people that we are.
We cannot love a person
with an all accepting, transcending and encompassing love
without being hurt somewhat,
without being disappointed,
without being failed
of our expectations.
We cannot love
without being broken,
yet we cannot continue in love
without being stronger
than our brokenness.
It is only in Jesus
where we can find healing and strength
so as to continue in this love,
so as to continue suffering again and again
yet rise again and again
in a love that is far above
any expectations,
in a love that does not retreat
from any hurt
or any frustration,
but in a love that dares to dare
in a love that dares to dream
in a love
that never ever fails!
For how long can you be happy in this life?
For how long can positive thoughts sustain you?
Will you be able to escape the aging years ahead?
Will you be able to escape your death?
Will you be able to escape the death of those around you
and bear the pain of their passing away?
Will you not grieve when your loved one passes away?
Will you not miss them?
Where shall you find your comfort in the end?
Shall you find it in the thought that they are not really gone,
but shall take on new personalities someday, somewhere, in another lifetime?
Personalities that knew you not
Personalities that have not your memory
nor the remembrance of your love
Shall you find comfort that they might go unto the Absolute
somewhere where all shall finally be merged as one,
energies pulsating, being absorbed unto the whole,
mere energies that sink and rise without end
without form
without persons you’ve wanted to love and to be with forever
No, you shall not.
You cannot
and even if you say you can,
you would have lost this one thing:
You would have lost
what true love
really means
Love is the Father
Love is the Son
Love is that which the Father and the Son express and manifest, that which encompasses both, that which communicates and conveys the most sublime.
Love is personal
Love is real
Love is the most tangible thing you’ll ever know
You lose yourself into love
but then you are never truly lost
