Faith reveals the beauty of Love. When someone finds meaning in his life, they have purpose and a destiny.  They Value life and honor creation. They witness the remarkable harmony that was right there before them and with vile contempt look no longer to the past for answers.

He that finds faith, finds love.

It is however, critical that all men know that without the element of love, faith degenerates into a baseless set of rubrics. There is a grave danger to revert to the ways of old in the name of faith.

As a matter of fact, the annals of History are littered with extremists that took faith into their own hands and enforced a rule of law. Blind to their own demise, they relapsed to man’s old destructive ways. They introduced more pain than they brought healing.

 

Scared by it all, the intellects rejected faith, the philosophers blamed faith, and the scientists saw no reason for it. They still do.

I don’t blame them either. When the governance of Love is taken out of the picture, [by the very ones appointed to endorse it] faith losses it’s purpose.

And so we have a faction of misguided zealots dictating preferences rather than endorse ideals.

Their misguided zealotry created darkness yet again!

Anti-Semitism, religious disintegration and narcissistic revolutions…

Wars broke out in the name of faith, lives were taken in the name of faith…

and  like a virus , darkness  was re-introduced into a system that had fought it well. This time with more fury, the darkness arguably rained havoc more dire in the name of faith than in any other foray in history.

 

If it were not for love, all hope would be lost, and all faith obscure. Love championed a regeneration of all things. Those, for whom it took root as they found faith, discovered the greatest asset of all life forms.

Love in its abundance, singlehandedly made a public spectacle of death and darkness.  Love shamed its power and declared the war won.
Love in its subtlety, dealt the hordes of despair a blow that would leave them crushed for all time.
Love came through every time. The Hero of old… the revelation of Power…

 

Mistaken for weakness, death danced arrogantly at loves nature.

It was however, this very “weakness” that disarmed the darkness that ever so eludes us.

It was a battle of cosmic proportions.

Ancient texts attest to its magnitude. It is written of this battle, “ death has lost its sting.”

 

Love Championed the release of captives, the healing of the broken hearted, Love bound the wounded, and restored life.

Hope may have done the clandestine groundbreaking… faith may have sounded the war cry… But it was love that won the Victory.  It was and always will be love working behind the scenes of the cosmos restoring balance to the universe.
Love is the single greatest force man will ever have in his corner.

Hope and Faith in all their splendor and strength always will salute love’s ineradicable power.

 

Amidst suffering, amidst pain… whether hard pressed or crushed… we are more than Conquerors.

We hope in Love. We believe in Love.

 

“And now, these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is Love.” ~1Cor.13:13.
