To write about Love, it’s understanding must be assumed. Or perhaps it is the process of learning to love about which we cautiously reflect? However those who know not its potency, power and portability, will never enter or approach conversation regarding its supple reminder of the sweet things in life. For their journey is hard fought, to win, collect and leave the victor of life having won as many material and reward points possible. Love will never be their last word unless it is the regret of never having done so.

We are in a battle of loving intention, though many play to take no prisoners, offering none forgiveness and hoping beyond measure that enemies fail, fall and flounder in their throws toward death. But this life was created by the Loving Hands that meant all men splendor and well being in eternal means. It may be defeated temporarily by siphoning all its gusto, treasure and manly measure but may never be overcome without reflection upon loving people so much that the true value is what has been forfeit for others to reach the everlasting. Love looks to reach eternity together, those who cannot love will always be alone.

The men and women who ventured into the foundation, construction and maintenance of America did it as a venture of Love, giving all that some may live in Liberty. The equation was simple yet impossibly achieved without the egalitarian respect and love of those around you. For America required that many would give their last breath or living nectar to establish the rights and freedoms for those held dear. It was a choice made in love that could only be made by those who understood love and the ideals of everlasting life. For an Eternal God granted US sovereignty to reign over ourselves in self governance that we might love those living beside as much or more that ourselves. This was an experiment not entered for coin, or fame, or pleasure but for the living of a life filled with the loving care and kindness of those who would bound together with US.

It sputters and gasps for revival, even now, the love that so tenderly nourished America’s Life has gone dry, or cold or hard. Men once steeped in the understanding of self sacrifice and leadership for the families furtherance now utter pause when faced with making a choice for the many or the one. Love if not completely forgotten was sidelined replaced with the deceitful temporary accomplishments of self actualization and pride. Love for the many became focus on the one, something akin to worship of the fallen, wanting every road to lead to my own gratification, edification or glorification. But lacking love these pursuits filled with prideful intent were never the highest pursuits of man made living. Lacking Love all things fall shallow of the heights reached by them who hold Love dear. Love for their Creator reflected in obedient stewardship of all that we’ve been given. Love for ourselves reflected upon the loving faces surrounding US in knowledge of our kindness and care for one another.

This war was won upon the Cross, with Love. There is no way any God crawls upon a wooden Cross to be nailed upright to choke to death on his own fluids without loving those He Created So Much that He was willing to take the only steps that could possibly save them from Separation and eternal suffering. Our God Loves US enough to pay the only sacrifice that would stop US from losing it all at the end of our short existence. He gave it all that we might find it all in a life lived with the rich value of Loving Kindness in our hearts that we might find fulfillment in this life and the next. Without that sacrificial gift none of US would ever be a true success at life, never knowing that sacrificial love necessary to make others lives more precious than our own and in so demonstrating to God that we understood Love.

Now is not the time to put on brutality and storm the enemy camps killing all in sight hoping that none take another breath, hoping to have eradicated evil from the land in that process. For in so doing we ourselves would have replaced that evil with our own, becoming the unloving bread of man necessary to making this life all that there is. It is time for Love, time for forgiveness, time for mercy, care, understanding and yes some decision made that will make no sense to those who could consume their brethren. We were meant to understand the preciousness of life so we can never consume it as if it were something simply taken for granted and easily dispatched. This is going to be the toughtest time in man’s history the time that we do the greatest thing for God we have ever and love them enough to change their hearts.

America was made for those who love others more than themselves. It was designed by a Creator who gave wise men the understanding of those principals at the pinnacle of human achievement. For in practicing these rare skills that make no worldly sense we begin to reflect the permanency of Heaven’s Own. In rising above the consuming emotions of pride and retribution we learn to let life be life and trust God to transform it for His Good Purpose. We learn to walk in a faith that makes even the greatest challenge simple, for they are faced with the loving understanding of being in the Father’s grasp at time of testing. We were designed to bring those greater revelations to mankind in this temporary lifetime that they might yearn for life everlasting in the knowledge of something beyond ourselves awaiting all who ask in eternity. The Love of God for mankind, is the Greatest Gift we will ever Know. In Jesus’ Loving Name.
