— Saint Augustine
Why do so many struggle with Loving Him? Many see Him as flat, unfeeling, and one-dimensional…But His love is a spectrum of beautiful vivid colors. His emotions run deep… Many know of Him… But do we take the time to truly know Him?
He listens to our requests without judgment … He comforts us. He loves us with such grace, compassion, and unwavering Love!! But few offer Him the love that He seeks in return.
He wrote the book on unconditional unselfish love.
No conditions … No request …Just a spiritual soulful love… It is difficult to understand let alone describe. His love is not from the world.
I will share a beautiful quote that helps put it into words.
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate than when I fall asleep your eyes close.” –from Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets
1 John 4:18 -20 … PERFECT Love that has no end…
Does His emotion speak to your heart?? Share your thoughts …
