Love Breaks Down The Strongest Walls

“If you follow the will of God, you know that in spite of all the terrible things that happen to you, you will never lose a final refuge. You know that the foundation of the world is love, so that even when no human being can or will help you, you may go on, trusting in the One that loves you.”- Pope Benedict XVI

How can you hope against all hope? How can you continue to believe that there will be a way even when there seems to be none? How can you see joy when your eyes are full of tears?

Only in love can we find that hope. Only in love can we continue to believe. And only in love can we see.

For love is light and life and power. Love is the way that cannot be blocked, the river that cannot be stopped from flowing.

Love can break down the strongest walls. It can overcome death itself with its consuming fire.

Love is the very foundation of the world. Everything else may cease and fail, but not love.

“Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm;
for love is strong as death…
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a very flame of the LORD.
Many waters can’t quench love,
neither can floods drown it.”
-Song of Solomon 8:6-7, WEB-BE
