Love

by | Feb 14, 2013 | Oozing, Uncategorized

When I found my soul mate, at the time I didn’t know he was “the one”.  But God sure did.  By all accounts, Joe MacDonald and I should probably never have gotten together.  People said we were too different, he was wild and crazy, I was extremely uptight.  He was spontaneous, I loved knowing what was coming next.  He was Protestant, I was Catholic, wasn’t that a big enough difference? 🙂

“The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.”  Sir Hugh Walpole

All these years later after career changes, children, relocating, losing parents, ministering…I can honestly say that the thing that has bound us together through everything in our lives is love. 

  • Love so deep that I never dreamed it existed.
  • Love so profound and overwhelming that you can hardly breathe. 
  • Love so rich that if God took you from this world at this very moment, you would say that you had experienced everything life had to offer with no regrets.

You don’t have to be a “soul mate” on this Earth to experience this kind of love.  You already have it, Beloved.  God loves you this way.  He loves you in a way that you can’t put into words.  He loves you at this moment, just exactly how you are.  We are all broken people.  We struggle with something and God will meet us right where we are at.  You just have to have an open heart.

My prayer for you today is that you know you are loved with an everlasting, unfailing love that only the Creator of the Universe can give you. 

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.”  1 John 4:7-8 (NIV)

4.  Sunshine in Winter
5.  Joe Keith MacDonald, the love of my life
