Learning to Love

The most personal of emotions, Love, wears a different suit in every relationship. Yet somehow it remains perfectly and eternally the same. What I am learning, slowly and painfully, is that Love is present everywhere and in everything, I just have to be willing to see it.

I have a tendency to search for love with my eyes closed. Sometimes I even throw my compass away and run. God truly has not left me alone here, but I am hiding; I am lying to myself so that I cannot hear him.

I know love only because My Father in Heaven first showed me. I find all around me the remnants of His wisdom and glory, but without putting on his eyes again every morning, I am missing the very sweetest sensation of God's Grace on Earth.

Thank you Father for waiting so patiently for me, thank you that you will wait for me again and again; thank you for my brothers who wait as well. I pray that you will cleanse me again daily, hourly, and give me the eyes to see your pervasive Love. Amen.
