In a world full of evil and hate I see love.
I see love
in the drops of rainwater dripping from the petals of a rose.
in the embrace of a mom with her newborn child; what unconditionally love.
in the arms of my true love, who accepts me for who I am, despite all my faults.
in the hugs of my children, because we love each other no matter what.
in the bloom of a flower placed in a vase by a loved one, because it represents love.
in the songs of the birds.
in the intertwined hands of an old married couple walking the track, because despite the hurt, suffering they have gone through they have chosen to stay together.
in my church, where all races, all ethnic groups are represented as they hold hands to pray for our country, because they love each other and want peace in the world .
in the soldier, who is thousands of miles away missing his family, but stands firm to guard our freedom.
in the trees, standing firm, providing us with shade on a sunny day or shielding us from a rain shower.
in the pastor, who guides the sheep sacrificing time away from his own family, because he loves.
in the majestic mountains, which tower thousands of feet above us.
in ocean’s waves, which can tower over us crashing against the shore or gently wash our tears away.
in the fluffy cumulus clouds, because we can stop and observe them moving fast or slow, across a blue or gray sky.
in the nimbus, dark-threatening clouds, because even though they hide the sunshine and bring us needed rain to fill our reservoirs, our lakes, and our rivers so we can have living water.
in the hands of missionaries, who risk their lives to bring the truth to say many.
in the hearts of the Followers, who continue to worship despite their persecution.
in the bonds of sisters, who pray for each other despite not being related by blood.
in the bonds of friends, who choose to stay, encouraging the one whose life is torn apart by a destroyed marriage.
in the donors, who give their child’s, spouse’s organs to save the life of another human being, while grieving their own loss.
in those who choose not to buy useless, worldly possessions they desire so that another may have water and food.
in those who rejoice in the joy of others, while struggling with their own problems.
in those who sacrifice their time to serve others.
in those who speak words of encouragement and love to those who are discouraged, downtrodden.
So despite the news filled with hate, with evil I will continue to see love in the world no matter how much hate is thrown our way. I will not stop believing that in the end, the love shown to us will overcome everything and transcend even our death.
❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤
Please choose love by continuing to show your own love to one another no matter what happens.
