Remember, It's a Love Story

When your faith is most tested. When you wonder whether you have faith.

When you wonder if you really do love. God. Someone. Anyone.

When you wonder if you really are loved. By anyone. By someone. By God.

Remember that God’s story, which is your story too, is at its most basic level about love.

What kind of love story?  

A Love Like That

The sun never says to the earth,

“You owe me.”

Look what happens

with a love like that.

It lights the whole sky.   Hafiz (Source: translated by Daniel Ladinsky; discovered at inward/outward.org)

Do you see the sunshine?

Did the sun ask if you wanted to be embraced by its rays; its warmth? 

That, my dear friends, is how God loves you. 

And how we are to love.
