Someday we shall see, the only answer is love and there is no greater love than that shown by Jesus Christ.
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, WEBBE
The mystery of love is that though it makes you feel good, and though it gives you the greatest feeling in the world, it helps you accept the bad times also, times when instead of feeling good, you feel just quite the opposite. Love can still exist in the deepest sorrow, and in truth, love would gladly prefer such sorrow rather than choose not having loved at all.
But why? What is there in love that makes people endure the most terrible anguish and grief? If love no longer makes you feel good, why hold on to it?
Can it be because love is more than a feeling? And if love is more, what is it really?
What is love?
It is love that gives meaning to our lives, to who we are. We know deep within us that love is the most beautiful thing we can ever know or have. To love is to live. To refuse to love is to die to our very being. In truth, love gives meaning even to death, and with love, even death is conquered and gives way to life.
