GIVE THE LOVE WE SEEK...GET PERFECT PEACE

Blinding flash of the obvious: Seeking ever inward, never outward, we find that for which we seek...love, God. 

Life is akin to a treasure hunt of our Soul...seeking, ever seeking that pearl of great price, namely, love. 

We find the bully, the hater, the less-than that lords themself over others...and it's like looking in our bathroom mirror. There I am, the bully, et al., achingly aware that something ain't right. 

We pray to God, asking God to fix us...to give us love. Our want is to get love...without a glimmer that our need is to give love. To give love to the bully, the hater, the less-than...the needy.

Comes the light...the love we seek is the love we must first give...that love is waiting within us to be passed on. We go to God for God and love flows forth. 

We rarely realize the gift in the moment...looking back, we are awed at God's perfect work that is waiting within us for the benefit of others...the peace that passes understanding.

Thank you.
