So Beautiful
We all live in a world of confusion. Confusion regarding everything, not just some things. Questions abound; life, death, the future and the past. Why are we here and what is the meaning of life? Life can be a struggle for those who have no solid answers to these questions. Have you ever noticed that if there were no God, there would be no chance of any future?
For those who have no faith that there is a God, I truly feel sorry for you, because if you do not change your mind, then there is no hope for you or those you love. And this faith we speak of, need not be one of a spiritual nature. Of course, there can be no forgiveness or eternal life without faith in Jesus, but why can't we start with the premise that without something other than ourselves, death is the only thing left to look forward to?
So as much as I hate to leave God out of the conversation, let's just take a moment and look at everything from a standpoint without a God. Having no God is a real problem for the scientific community. No explanation has ever been given that explains why science propagates the idea that there must be other life in the universe, but there cannot be a God. They embrace the idea that there could certainly be highly advanced life, that is far and away much more powerful and able to do things we might never achieve.
I have even heard them say that "they might be so advanced that we might see them as a type of God". So it's okay for them to believe in their choice of God, but the Christian God is not acceptable?
Let me get this straight; without our "Creator God", they would make one up to take his place, then they could make up the rules along they way and write them down and make everyone follow them? Is that right? Of course it is! If we could wipe the memory of our Creator God from the minds and history of mankind, nothing would change, because logic would take the place of memory.
The first person to see the pyramids logically believed that someone made them,. And this could be said of anything that has organized structure. Even if not one person could remember God, they would soon realize that a creator is necessary, and would begin to search for him. And why do we search for him? Some search so they can disprove his existence. Others search because they know that no creation could exist without a creator.
And what is this creation all about? It is about a entity that existed before mankind, who chose to be a creator and lover of his creation. This entity was the totality of love, and his desire was to share this power with others who would love him in return. And this entity was a creator of balance. His creation would be created with the same logic that he himself was built upon. And so with his powerful love, he built the cosmos and the universe and a world to give to his children.
God knew the future, but his love was, "so beautiful", that he gave himself completely to the world he had created. A world that would reject and hate and attempt to murder the only source of selfless love.
A entity with unspeakable power that was willing to give it all up for those who were not capable of understanding just how painful his sacrifice would be. A love that none of us can appreciate, until we are face to face with him at last. There is nothing of the flesh that can be compared to the beauty of God's love. All we can do is try.
We can only speculate and search inside of our own lives and past to even attempt to understand or feel God's kind of love. Not unlike a couple in love who's love is in full bloom, God see's us in a way that we cannot understand. He sees something beautiful that has such incredible potential but knows the reality of that potential may never be seen by us, until it is to late.
Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt? God loves us in this way, and much, much more! Real love carries no baggage. Real love has no selfishness. Real love only sees beauty and not the flaws. Real love is perfect and unbreakable. Real love will die for you, and give itself completely, even when love is not returned. Real love sees things in another person that others don't see. Real love feels unworthy of another persons love for it. And real love will never die.
I know the exact moment when I realized I could not go on living without my love, and wife of thirty six years. There was nothing different about that day, except that God had chosen that exact moment in time to show me the girl that he sees.
It is difficult to explain how I saw the beauty of the soul and the spirit and the flesh in that moment. The angels would be envious of that incredible vision of heavenliness. Oh!, the pain of a breaking heart when we could not be together. It still hurts to even think of it; a fate worse than dying could ever be. In that moment I came as close as possible for any human, to feel how God feels every time he looks at you. But sadly, in God's case, he must eventually see you as you really are. He wants to wrap his arms around you and squeeze you tightly. But he can't because you have been unfaithful, and the dust and filth of the dirt road you travel down cannot come in contact with the spirit of the Almighty.
He desperately wants to be with you! The pain of separation is too much to bear! He fears that you might not love him as you once did. His heart breaks because he can't touch you, or hear your voice once more.
No human can accurately describe the love God has for us. And most cannot feel it because of their own weakness. To love is to ache inside. To love is to worry. To love is to fear that you love someone more than they love you. To love is a sacrifice, because you must give yourself completely to it.
And it is love that should control your life, not ambition and greed. Hate is easy, but love is hard. Oh, how beautiful love could be if only we could love the way God loves us. But maybe trying is all that God expects. And maybe the more we try, the more our love will grow, and oh how beautiful that would be. 'So beautiful'.
