Multi-purposeful Love

I am reading this book and one of the parts I really like is where the author explains what it is about love that is so transcendent and powerful.  He writes, "The spiritual meaning of love is best measured by what it can do, which is many things."

Love can heal.

Love can renew.

Love can make us safe.

Love can inspire us with its power.

Love can bring us closer to God.

I have been the recipient of powerful doses of love.  This Christmas my friend Cyndi showed a lot of compassion towards me in a predicament I found myself in unexpectedly.  She told her sister about some recent stressors that came up a few days before Christmas and her sister expressed a desire to help in some way.  She wrote a check to me for $1,000.  Everything that happened the week prior that was very painful all of a sudden dissipated into nothing and I felt very loved.  Love can heal. Love can renew. Love can make us safe. Love can inspire us with its power. Love can bring us closer to God.  

I know the source of love is God and I remembered in this difficult time to turn to the Author himself.  I was needing some extra help finding an apartment.  I woke up one morning and knew I needed to just ask Him for help and plead my case.  He answered my prayers by the end of the day.  I felt really good about what I needed to do.  His love heals. His love renews.  His love makes me feels safe. His live inspires me.  His love draws me close.
