Love Will Keep Us Alive

Recently I read a reflection presenting the ideas that I write today. I just wanted to put them into my own words.

Love is the perfect way to heal our hearts. How interesting that when a small child scrapes his knee, his reaction to make it better is to run to his mother and ask her to kiss it and make it better. To the child, what makes his boo-boo alright is the love of the mother, not the material remedy of a bandage. This is the example for our hearts, that in our pain and suffering what we need most is love, particularly the parental love of God the Father. We are wounded by the sins of ourselves and others, and our heavenly Father is the only one who can take them away. There is nothing in this world that can replace that love. We are able to experience that love of God in our relationships and prayer. It is only with love that we can heal our wounds.

That said, I apologize for missing a couple of days here. I have been having trouble finding inspiration this week.

Also, please pray for Scott's grandpa Fitzsimmons who passed away last night. May God in His infinite love give him peace and everlasting life. Amen.
