The Love Net

Everyone says that it's the moments of intense grief

 that help you see life....

.....clearly. 

It's the loss of a dear and close friend that helps you see 

the poverty that has struck in this day and age. 

The hugs, laughter, and love poverty has hit and

taken over our very mindsets. 

We don't need to fully appreciate what we have

right in this moment....

...because we'll have it again next week wednesday.

And then we lose someone. 

And for a month, 3 months, 6 months we see the reality

of our lives. 

We see the frail existence that we lead. 

We see the big complicated lives we moan 

about as threads, begging to be cut. 

Why must we lose our blessings in order 

to more fully understand the greatness of 

the blessings that we are given?

Because we are fools. 

All of us. We are.

We live an existence and seek after God and we preach love, 

but we have no idea how to comprehend it. 

We throw our lives around

as though they are feathers floating on 

the perchance winds of life.

We throw out our love in the same way. 

Hoping, that maybe if we throw a wide enough net....

....it might hit someone. 

But, do you know what thinly spread love is? 

It's the superficial conversations that we don't like having. 

It's the very virus of "fake" that seems to plague the church. 

Love is a powerful thing. 

The way you give it can speak over someone's life. 

Willy nilly and without respect for the heart receiving it?? It's like the wide net. 

A strong net may be smaller, but it will be a true fishermen's friend. And aren't we to be fishers of men? 

Sincerely Yours,

The Undefeated
