Analysis of The Quest For Love
What if Love is much bigger than you ever imagined?
What if Love is much smarter than you ever conceived?
What if Love is much greater than you could ever comprehend?
What if Love is much more powerful than you ever dreamed?
What if Love is so essential that if it were not present, then all else would be meaningless?
This means, if everything is all there is, and yet, Love is not present – then everything would not be enough, wouldn’t it?
This means, that my choices and circumstances could not hinder, halt, or hurt Love, could they?
This means, that time and space could not diminish, disrupt, or destroy real Love, could they?
This means Love would be much bigger than me.
This means Love is much more powerful than me.
This means I would not be able to wrap my arms around Love and make it mine.
This also means that Love could never be lost, could
it?
We love him, because he first loved us. 1John 4:19
