God is the Reason and Love is the Way

Scripture: "Let all that you do be done in love."

1 Corinthians 16:14

Message: "God is the Reason,

and Love is the Way"

God’s divine love is freely given to us as human beings.

I pray that we discover the fullness of this incredible gift by aspiring to grow into the highest realization of ourselves…

… And then giving back to the world in full measure. There is no time for complacency.

“Only from the heart can you touch the sky.”

“You have to eep breaking your heart until it opens.”

“To Love is to reach God.”

Rumi

Love is the Way

Deep in the heart of the infinite darkness A tiny blue marble is spinning through space Born in the splendor of God's holy vision And sliding away like a tear down his face Closer you see the whole wide holy wonder Of oceans and mountains and rivers and trees And the strangest creation of many, the human A creature of laughter and freedom and dreams Now the warriors are waving their old rusty sabers The preachers are preaching the gospel of hate By their behavior determined to teach us A lesson we're soon to be learning too late. Look closer my brother, we're killing each other And we'd better stop and get started today Because life is the question and life is the answer And God is the reason and love is the way. Because life is the question and life is the answer And God is the reason and love is the way. Because life is the question and life is the answer And God is the reason and love is the way.
