Love and Life

Unfortunately I think that often times people (including those that profess to follow Jesus Christ) get caught up in this life. They focus on the day to day things and therefor don't think on the important questions like: Why am I here? What is the purpose of life? How did I come to exist? Because of this when hard questions are asked, they give weak responses. The question "what if your wrong" has become one of those responses. Maybe at one point it was thought about as a legitimate question that one needs to ponder. Now however, it is just thought of as a cop out or something that's said by people who don't really have any good arguments. That being said, I believe that the idea behind the phrase is still valid. Which is, to bring peoples attention to what may await them if they don't wake up. If they don't open there eyes to the truth that this life isn't just about what they see in front of them. Its not about being born,growing up, getting a job, having sex,seeking pleasure, and then going to the grave. Its about love and relationship. And not the love that this world has twisted and corrupted. Not love that is synonyms with lust. But love that is full of patience, kindness, gentleness, self sacrifice, and selflessness. The same love that would make a perfect God send his only Son into this world to die in your place. A love so great that even while they whipped him until the street ran red with his blood,beat him, and spit in his face, he forgave them. A love that was so powerful it could overcome all the evil that people have done,are doing and will do... That's what its all about. Everything. The situations you face,the troubles you go through, the people you meet, the amazing beauty and complexity of the world around you. Its all there to test if you will accept this love. To see if you will accept God who is Love. And to see if you will love Him in return.
