Father’s love is so extravagant and unfettered; so inexplicable, that it’s a mystery to me. Yet, I feel it as I come to know Him. I know but a portion of His love, the love for His bride transcends our imagination. And so my heart takes in the Word that He’s left within His Love Letter, so that I may come to understand Him, to know Him. Not just on any normal level, such as an acquaintance, but on a truly personal level as a sincere, heart-felt and faithful relationship with my true Love, our true Love. Song of Solomon 6:3 says, “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” We are His bride and we are not in despair for our bride groom will return.

There are people who prefer to refrain from looking back to the past while others take advantage of the past to prevent future mishaps. Your “Every Man” or “Every Woman” may relate to this question, because the life we know here and now is but temporary and everything temporary comes to an end – a finality. A finality that can shake you to the core; mind changing, life altering events. Events that have the power to shape you, mold you and transform you or perhaps break you.

I’ve previously posted the text in an older blog and I thought that it would be nice to have it in this one as well. The excerpt portrays a person’s dream. The entirety of the dream focuses specifically on an angels visitation to this man or woman. The two converse for sometime about the current state of the world as if in search for some clarity or understanding. Personally, I’ve found this story touching and meaningful in more ways than one when comparing it to life, the world around us and the on going state of affairs.

Many are killed in the name of these ideals. We reason with ourselves that fighting (albeit killing) is justified as long as it’s for the sake of ones country or nation. There’s always been more than one side, always two or more ideals or belief clashing with one another which in turn only adds fuel to the fire. It takes two to wage war after all. Sadly, any heated confrontation waged for preserving peace creates a twisted irony where the begotten result is war and the atrocities that follow.
