He Has Loved From The Outset

In the spirit of thinking and thoughts and imagination and ponder-ment and ideas and such as and so forth, I have been thinking...that I would like to share a fairly simple [Grande Implications Though] phrase that I have developed through...not thinking! Through seeing! Mostly firsthand, at times, secondhand and always with thankfulness.

Most of us have lived a while and have seen a fair bit of injustice in the world that we live in. From wars and accidents, to poverty and famine, the faces of injustice are many. It would seem that everyone, everywhere is longing for someone to love them. Some people want to be loved for what they do. Others want to be loved because they never have been. And again, some want to love because they have been loved. I would say that love and the action part of it, "To be loved or to love," is a universal desire. How is this love given? How is it received? I would deliberate that in many or most cases, love has been neglected and has been replaced with, "I will tolerate you because I am paid to do so," or social systems that treat people like products and money mongers. Jeremiah 31:3 is clear about our Father's intentions. An everlasting love is overtaking us. Catching some by suprise and being discovered by others who have been looking for it for quite some time. It is a great and wonderful thing to love but a great and terrible thing to never know love. To be known by God [who is Love] is to be loved and to loved is to be known by God.
