Here on earth, we do not receive the energies of the sun directly to nourish us, and for us to create our own food as plants do. Only plants are able to do that.
In the same way, we are not always able to receive God’s love directly. Our corruptible bodies weigh us down, and we are often fooled into believing that this world we see is all there is.
We receive God’s love through other people. We see His eyes through other people’s eyes. We feel His touch through other people’s hands.
That’s why it’s very important for us to be channels of God’s love.
Sometimes, we think as though we are failures, and there is nothing worthwhile that we can do. But what we fail to realize is that there is so much we can really do.
We can do so much as parents to our children, we can shower them with a Godly love that guides them and provides for everything they need in growing up. We can do so much as partners to our soulmates. We can love them passionately and make them feel how special they are to us, how all the world would be so different and empty without their presence. We can do so much as friends, by lending an ear or a hand to a friend in need, we make known to our companions the God who never leaves us, and who would always be with us no matter what!
Let us be channels of God’s wonderful love today.
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
