made by, with, in, for, to love / 04.30.09, 11:26 AM
There is nothing that can separate us from the love of our Almighty God. Nothing. It is all around us, even in the most dire of situations. It is written into the very fabric of Creation. Every tree is a testimony. Each individual blade of grass points.
Being that He created us, and that God is love, then we were made by Love. We were made by Love, with love, in love, for love, and to love. We were so loved, in fact, that Christ- that is, God incarnate- gave His life to save us from our sin. Through His resurrection, Love has defeated death.
And not only did God’s love conquer that age-old enemy, but after He lifted back into heaven, He breathed His love into us by way of the Holy Spirit. The consequences of this action are not in the least bit small. Through the Spirit, God has enabled us to channel His love! We are movable conduits of Love, able to share Him with anyone we come into contact with!
How can we not share God’s love, His Gospel, His redeeming sacrifice? How can we not give our hand- HIS hand- to help those who are in need? If we are truly filled with love, we cannot do or allow harm of any kind to those around us!
We are a fallible and fallen creation. But that will not stop our God, and that will not stop His followers from seeking Him. No matter the cost, no matter the pain, we know what will prevail in the end. As Dorothy Day once so eloquently put it, “The final word is love.”
