Our Not-so-Harsh Reality

I’ve known so many people who have experienced personal losses of so many issues that are too difficult to describe without a panel of medical and psychological specialists to interpret for us. Most of these friends have just raised themselves up, brushed themselves off, and tried to live a normal life. Most have done this with the help of a very compassionate friend, who just happens to be a man or woman of the church. This person may not necessarily be the minister; but she will carry with her Love that only God has for Her; the children, for it is only God’s Love that can heal all wounds.

We can never forget the pain of the loss; there will always be a void in our hearts. However, the Love of God, brought back into our consciousness by the beloved angel of the church, or friend, kindles the light of love in our heart that does not replace the void, but builds the heart for future kindness and sharing; sharing that grows; Love that grows; the Love that only God can share through mankind, a strong and healthy mankind that has known and overcome that pain of loss, remembers that loss, and turns that loss into a strong platform for the growth of abundant compassion. John 10:10 assures us that this restorative blessing comes from God and gives us the strength to build back from the pain of loss to spread God’s hope and Love through the world.

We are destined through love to crush the pain and loss life throws at us and restore human dignity through the spiritual path taught to us by all of the great spiritual leaders who have come before us.
