What drives a person to move forward in life, in love, in health of heart? Students, teachers, children, parents, singles...anyone...everyone:
Feeling significant. Cared for. Loved.A healthy family models building significance for each member. That template came from God himself.
He designed each of us uniquely--launching our souls (the real us) through birth in human bodies--and waits on us to respond to the magnificent obsession he has for each of us.
He offers the ultimate in feeling significant, cared for and loved.
How can we know it is the real thing?
Because to receive it is optional.Real love does not force itself but rather invites, draws, offers. Forced union is no union at all; it is abuse of privilege. That to which we are held too tightly incites us to run away.
So God made us and let go, setting us adrift in a sea of choice, offering navigation right back to himself. Our own story waiting as reward for finding home.
One more reason to believe is because we do not have to. We can do this life on our own, minus the lavish significance that God is waiting to bestow, minus our very own story.
I just can't make sense of why we'd remain lost instead of found, absent from our own story written by God.
All the time in the world to think may never lead me to understanding the why of that.
