Better than life
I’ve struggled this past week. I’ve been stressed, I’ve gotten my priorities mucked and I’ve hurried through time with God. Yesterday and today, I finally came back. I finally got back into the space where time doesn’t matter and all I can see is Him.
In these past two days, the message of the famous “love chapter” have spoken to me in a new and deep way. I have been awed, I have cried... and written pages upon pages in my journal!
Here are just a few excerpts:
There must be something more, something that can meet the hunger I find inside, something that can fill me, satisfy me, fulfill me. There must be something I can cling to, something that will answer my questions, nurture my soul and inspire my life.
Well, I’ve found it!
It is all present in your love, dearest Father.
Like a richly perfumed flower, the tight bud opens to dazzle my eyes, warm my heart and enchant my senses… This love meets every hunger I have ever had, it answer every question my soul has ever whispered, it speaks deep into my soul and fulfills my hunger. With Your love, Father, I am filled. Nothing can take it from me, nothing in life can compare with it and I would rather die than lose it.
I see it in your smiling eyes… depths of quiet pain, but brimful of wonder, of joy, of passionate love… depths that speak of a heart that cares for me in a way that no human soul ever truly can… those eyes see into the depths of my soul and they hold me.
Father... your love is everything I need. Beside it, everything in life amounts to less than nothing.
