God extends to me day by day, minute by minute, life. I will wake up tommorow because that’s what He feels is right for me. Why? I must be here for some important reason. If God deems it a good enough reason, than what better reason to justify my pushing forward every day? It is He who gives me life, therefore it He that gives my life it’s highest value.
He is the perfect teacher. He pushes me where I need it most, and comforts and blesses me in certain dosages. He is gentle when I’m in need of His comfort.
I’ve been taught my whole life that there is a God who governs over all creation. And that His love is what has power to move things, truly change things that need to be changed. It’s His entire motive. Love heals the broken hearts, the hard hearts, blind hearts, the fearful ones. And then he fills the humble hearts with power to move mountains. The soft hearts to hear his soft whispering of eternal mysteries. The strong hearts to fight. The believing hearts to hope. The weak hearts to not faint. The forgiving hearts to soar. The doubting heart to finally trust, in Him.
All the inner workings of one heart require quite a bit. Our hearts must be reliable to manage our daily affairs. For example, it’s in my heart that the very delicate matters involving my children take place. With so many needs, my heart stands guard, ready to serve and to protect my children’s vulnerabilities. When I’m tired, worn down, insecure…my capacity to juggle all their little needs becomes compromised. You see, I’m the guardian of my children’s hearts in similar ways God is to mine. And this is a family business of manufacturing love. And gratefully the heart is the mechanism that produces love. I hope I can stalk my pantry shelves with boxes of sturdy love, ready to feed the hungry.
God’s most powerful weapon is love. Why would God, who knows everything, main tactic be love? Does He know something we don’t know ? He extends his mighty love to all who desire it. It’s free. There is no monopoly on his love. He lives to love us. I hope we can at some point accept that if we live to love Him, there can be no greater life.
