I know he loves me, though I know I only grasp the tip of how much. Yet, what I know of His love makes me feel so worthy. It gives you hope of what can actually be, and the faith to seek it out; that this little you can go out in search of unfolding beauty with His insurmountable love beside you. <br />It wasn't until I realized how He loves everyone, my neighbor, the stranger walking along beside me, equally that aligned my will for them with His. This brings about a sensation of brotherhood. It’s no longer a body outside of yours, it’s a life sharing the same existence God has granted them. <br />An act of kindness and support is all in the Name of God as bearers of His love. Glory be to God. All of it…the love, the laughs, the smiles - His. He wished it. His will made it happen. Surrender yourself, your comforts, and put yourself under His outpouring grace. First, we must wish it, pray it, want it, and let it be. His will be done on this Earth, as it must be done so gloriously in Heaven. <br />Great pieces this week, and of those whom you've shared! Amen to "Swept off their feet". Beautiful, sentimental farewell, Father. We can all relate to your call as we part to go out into the world and deliver God's Love...Seraph Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10824122019427351008noreply@blogger.com
