This love is not packaged in bulk and doesn’t arrive the same for everyone. Whether from nature, a friend, a lover, a pet, or even a stranger whose soul resonates with yours before your mind can fully grasp the moment’s significance… it’s unique in a world where little is unique.

The Power of Faith and Love

Some know of this love, either by experiencing it, dreaming of it, or witnessing it. This love isn’t a detour; rather, it’s home on earth. A respite to regroup and armor up.

Poor and the wealthy alike have searched for this home. Some have created crooked wars over it; others have trespassed upon moral codes just to catch a glimpse, only to find their efforts futile; their rewards fleeting.

I’m not schooled in fortune-telling, nor do I have the constitution to expend energy in fear of what might happen when this love is gone. I would be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about how empty my days would be without you. How empty I would be.

For this, I pray I go first, so I can help Jesus prepare a place for you. In Heaven, I will love you still — more, I imagine — as I will not have the doubts, distractions, and discomforts of society, sin, and skin to plague and phase me.

For now, I am here, and you with me. What more can I ask? Well, so much more in my selfish bent, I confess. I give my petitions to God. I ask God to bless you and be a blessing to those whom He puts in your path.

I ask God to give you strength in mind, body, and spirit, for the days, and gentle rest for the nights. And I ask God to allow me to love and cherish you in ways that first please Him, so that I may honor you in ways that reveal this love is beyond us and in us… a cord of three.
