Seeking Love
There are no places inside you or in the whole of creation
where God’s love does not exist. It is
alive in prisons and hospital wards, in concentration camps and foxholes, in
earthquakes and hurricanes, in your own selfishness and addictions. It is always crying out to your heart, and
your heart is awake, responding. Seek it
and trust it.
Trust it, or risk it, as the case may be, in solitude, at
home, at work, in play, in relationships, in pain, in grief, in laughter. Just as there are no exceptions in the places
of creation, there are none in the moments and phases of your life. You never know what form love will take, but you
can trust that it is there, and you can trust your desire for it.
Creation needs you for your love; love needs you for your
creation. God needs you for
yourself. Your heart has a sense of it
already, and it is ready to join the flow of grace to guide you into
ever-expanding presence. Seek the presence
of love everywhere. Let there be no dark
corners.
