“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” ~ Lao Tzu
EZEKIEL 38-39
28Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind.
1 PETER 4
8Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
JOURNAL
In almost every chapter in every book of the bible the ultimate theme and command is to love. It covers over sins and is the overriding characteristic of God. It is the reason Christ died and is driving force behind creation. Love is what ultimately drives the world. It is the source of our passion and our deepest longings. The absence of it creates a multitude of tragedies and horrors and yet it's presence can cover and heal the most horrible wrongs.
