A Case for Love

Today at mass the priest said that God’s take on this Coronavirus was that,

“if people took up their sacramentals the way they picked up their face masks they would begin to experience their life-changing”

He said,

“if people feared God, the way they feared Coronavirus then would growth come and a change”

But,
I think that’s exactly the problem,

People do fear God, just as they fear the virus and we’ve all seen how fear of the virus worked out to date. At the beginning of this virus incident, people wore their masks and washed their hands and followed all the necessary precautions, but, now it’s not going away…

and yet we all have seen people who aren’t following the precautions and still haven’t caught the virus.

It most importantly seems like everybody is tired and it looks like nobody cares anymore.

Now consider this:

In the same way as with the Coronavirus, since we were born, we have always heard, Don’t do this or Don’t do that because you would suffer and go to hell and be tortured forever,

and yet we’ve seen people not following these rules prosper and it seems like all that was said about people who didn’t follow rules has still not come and everybody is tired and it now seems many do not want to walk that road again

THE CASE:

I find out that nobody has ever walked away from a relationship of unconditional love, at least I have never heard of one, the kind of Love that is present and existent even in the presence of flaws.

The type that ensures you don’t intentionally hurt the one you love and you constantly think of ways to show that love even without being asked for it

SO THE POINT AND THOUGHT IS THIS:

Could it be that we are missing the point in our faith walk and doctrines?

Don’t we think that if the abundance of God’s love was emphasized instead of the fear of hell, maybe we would have more ACTUAL CHRISTIANS who are open and willing to go above and beyond for God?

People who are Christians at heart and not just regular Sunday Christians, looking to avoid their next fall.

I am discovering that the Love of God is not just an expression alone, but it is powerful enough to keep and supply us with all we can ask or think, according to the power of Love working in us

LET THE FOCUS BE LOVE!!!

It’s expressions, appearances,  nature,  processes and it’s product.

GOD IS LOVE
LOVE IS GOD

When we focus on love, the journey becomes easier.
