The struggle of life is rough,<\/span><\/p>\n

and waiting for better things<\/span><\/p>\n

can hurt like hell.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We pray for better times<\/span><\/p>\n

without knowing<\/span><\/p>\n

when they will come<\/span><\/p>\n

or <\/span>if <\/span><\/i>they will come.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But love redeems the struggle.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Love gives us patience <\/span><\/p>\n

when we are tired of waiting.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Love gives us hope<\/span><\/p>\n

when we want to give up.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Love gives us direction<\/span><\/p>\n

when we cannot find our way.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Love gives us joy<\/span><\/p>\n

when everything feels broken.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

God is Love;<\/span><\/p>\n

to know God is to know Love.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The better I’ve come <\/span><\/p>\n

to understand Love, <\/span><\/p>\n

the better I’ve come <\/span><\/p>\n

to understand God.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I mean it all comes back to God\u2019s love, doesn’t it? It’s the one thing that will actually lastingly satisfy us and that we do not need to wait for or worry about losing. Deep down, we long for something we already have: unconditional, unending love. For all that we seek out in our search for happiness, all we ever needed to do was to come Home.<\/span><\/p>\n
