Why Love Then.
When we love we put ourselves in a place of eventuality.
The possibility of beauty and the possibility of ruin is equal, in the prospect of loving another.
It is as likely that love changes us into an exquisite many-faceted crystal, as it is that love changes us into mired dirt, broken and trod upon.
Why love then? Why risk the elemental pressure of nature, taking a small measure of love, and turning it into something beyond the control of a beating heart.
Dust or glitter. Dirt or quartz.
Do we choose how love will turn out when offered to others?
No.
We control just one thing. How our love is given. Is it given unreservedly? Is it given with the knowledge that there may be extreme pain, because the death of love may be more devastating than never loving?
Love changes that which it owns.
Why love then?
Though devastated; though destroyed; there is an unmistakable echo in the heart of one who loves. Words may be garbled and feelings may be crushed; nevertheless the echo is there in a still quite Voice.
“You Love. Love is the greatest gift given by the heart of a living soul. You Love. That which you have planted in tears will be reaped in joy because you LOVE.”
The beating heart, which yields to Love in the smallest of ways, will never be the same. The unabashed heart which yields in totality may be trampled and yet; Love changes that which it owns.
Why love then? Why love when the heart may be broken and the offering may be trampled as dirt, and blown by the wind? Why love when offering love may not produce glorious, solid, observable beauty?
Love for the eventuality. Love for the possibility. Love for love’s eternal harvest; the increase of Love.
Why love? GOD is love and when we love we are like Him.
Why love?
Love for LOVE’S sake then.
