Where is the love?
Such a commonly used word, yet often distorted and misunderstood. Does it really make the world go round? Is it really all you need? Have YOU ever been in love?
I was attending a wedding last Saturday and I finally understood what it all meant. The moment she walked through down that aisle, the moment their eyes met, the moment they exchanged their vows. It didn't matter anymore if the gown was perfect, or if the choir was singing in tune, or if the aircon was switched off. They were practically living and breathing love off each other. A simple act of commitment with such profound effects.
As I sat there watching them, it all came together. A temporary closure to my never-ending dialogue with God. (My annoyance must have pissed him off.) I guess it just never occurred to me how perfect love can be. That it is actually humanly possible to love another to the extent that God loves. To the extent that others around you can feel His love. That, is the extent, of the power of His love.
I am struggling to put my feelings into words and I wish I could do a better job sharing it with you. What happened to me that fateful Saturday was not merely a passing thought. It was a lesson of love and of how much He really did love...me.
I feel like the luckiest woman in the world, and yes, love is all you need.
