(Continued as part of Love Reflections series based on a prompt. I recommend starting with Part I.)
Where’s love?
One of the characteristics of eternal truth is that it cannot change. God is love, God is truth. Love is truth. If it can change, then we are talking about something in the material world. People sometimes look at all the problems of the world and ask, “where’s God or Love?”, but like we do in the material world, we are looking for love in all the wrong places. Love is “HERE”, now and always but we keep looking in the “here”. We say in the material world, we are blinded by love, but more correctly we are blind to love. And we will be until we see the illusory nature of the material world. Then we can help this love to escape from this cloud that covers and imprisons it.
So, as this world seems to move further and further towards rock bottom let us remember this love is always within us HERE and NOW. It is the light, and the enthusiasm Churchill mentioned (part I). This will give us faith and hope.
