Valentines Release

Let us begin 
with the origin 
the root of and cause of it
as we trace it we find a trail
so clear as the sky clears 
and the light is so bright that 
you yourself disappear 

don't know what to fear 
or even how to feel 
engulfed by the everlasting 
swallowed by God's heart 
it takes a little searching 
a little under-earthing 

but now is the fun part 
a realizing of love part 
the thought that God is 
the ocean of intimacy 
the generator of butterflies 
that continues through the years 

Love we can't explain it
instead we embrace it
No matter what's has happened
good or bad 
everything can be undone
because of the fact that 
God's love is never overcome. 

Reflecting on Valentines Day, I find that some people are lonely for not having someone to love or cling to. I believe we all have this initial desire inside, implanted by God, to love and be loved by others. Being alone isn't natural. We were made to co-exist. Yet sometimes we get caught up in not realizing that God is the source and summit of all love. He is the generator and provider. Any love we feel for someone comes from God. In understanding this... well we just have to be ready. Ready for when God will send someone in our life. To also realize that if you are in a relationship, with God at the center... your love will over flow.  

I love the concept of being able to erase. To start over with a clean slate. I have noticed for those who commit crimes or are incarcerated they are stained by our government system... forever. Your mistake in the past affect all of your future. God's love is quite the contrary. Mistakes are overridden and replaced with forgiveness. This is why I encourage all who have trust issues, fear, or even excuses about finding love to erase the past pain. Let it only build character, but not stain your consciousness. No love is greater.. than a Father who would send his son knowing he would endure great suffering and die. We all walk this path, but we will one day be engulfed by the everlasting love of God.
