Love is Victorious
"We are in love. God
is absolutely and always present, intimately active and involved with us, and
endlessly good. As God’s creations, we
bear an essential part of God’s own goodness in our hearts that can never be
removed, no matter how selfish, prejudiced, and vindictive we may be, no matter
what we have done or what has been done to us.
And when we say yes to love, or try to say yes, or even just honestly
desire to try to say yes, love is as victorious in that moment as it is in all
of cosmic time. Bought at the price of
God’s own suffering, it is a victory that is always happening and always yet to
come, always beginning yet never wavering for an instant. The victory only brightens by taking place
within a broken and suffering world, in ways that cause us to join the suffering
rather than escape it. The victory
becomes more glorious, more triumphant with each human yes, and with every
deepening of a yes already said." -- Gerald May, The Awakened Heart
